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....


recrimation\rih-krim-uh-NAY-shuhn\, n:
recrimate, v

1. The act of returning one charge or accusation with another.
2. An accusation brought by the accused against the accuser; a counter accusation.

Etymology: Recrimination is from Medieval Latin recriminatio, from the past participle of recriminare, from Latin re-, "back, again" + criminari, "to accuse," from crimen, "accusation, charge, crime." The related verb is recriminate.

Good morning, class! You may use either the verb or noun form of today's word!

i had 24 oz of Dunkin Donuts coffee first thing and another 12 oz of the double latte from across the street just now. 4 hours of sleep can't be compensated for by coffee, unfortunately!
