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....
incult \In*cult"\, adjective:
1. Not cultured; coarse.
2. Untilled; uncultivated; crude; rude; uncivilized.
Her forests huge,
Incult, robust, and tall, by Natures hand
Planted of old; her azure lakes between,
Poured out extensive, and of watry wealth
Full; winding deep and green, her fertile vales,
With many a cool translucent, brimming flood
Washed lovely, from the Tweed, pure parent stream,
Whose pastoral banks first heard my Doric reed,
With sylvan Jed, thy tributary brook,
To where the north-inflated tempest foams. James Thomson, 1700-1748
Title of this poem is unknown, but can be found here.
Byways of the Scottish Border; "Jethart's Here!".
Etymology: Latin incultus, from in- + cultus, past participle of colere to cultivate. Date: 1599.

When snowmobiling, always take some snowsnake antivenin. it comes in little oval bottles with names like "Du Keypper" and "Old Mr. Boston" and tastes like cough syrup.
Because the snowsnake is white, it cannot be seen in the snow. and because it's bite is so toxic, one must pre-innoculate oneself BEFORE getting bitten. It's the only way. And the more antivenin the better.
but hey! it keeps one warm too!

Well, since you're going back to the wars I think I have an axe and a hacksaw that we can graft on. :^)

hey Miss Teach - apologies for my lack of attendence and participation.
I've been doing some freelance work and the deadlines keep changing on me and have been limiting not only m time - but my brain fuctions!!
Last week it was drugs - this week it is dogs.
I'm wondering if anyone in the classroom might be able to help me with this project.
I need to make a cart of dog lineage. On paper it sort of looks like the charts used to for sports play off positions, but in reverse.
The left side is where the "final 2" end and on the right is where te "first 32" start.
Can anyone give me an idea of how to do this - I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure it out.
Thanks everyone!!!

MAN, I know that you want to think ahead in political campaigns, but just how far ahead are you THINKING? I just cut and paste them.
Heck, Senators have been known to linger
Isn't there an old saying that only the good die young
By my calculations, that makes her darn near eternal.
