Word For The Day 4/26/02
The Verbivores | Sappho Day | Hobbes, The Good Sub!

Posted on 04/26/2002 5:02:09 AM PDT by hobbes1

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Happy Sappho Day!
