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....

You two are free to dream on. Just keep a civil tongue, and we'll get along fine.

Exactly!

You flatter yourself madam, in thinking that seadragons have 'mates'.
They are well known to be like mules, in both temperment & abilities.

Hello, lovely Rika! Nice to see you here today.
To: tpaine
And you dare talk about others?
You invaded OUR thread - not the other way around.
It is obvious you are unfamiliar with the classmates - but I will give you a hint - WE PROTECT OUR OWN.

If it wasn't for the fact that you are such a weasel, I would be insulted by your crassness.
To: tpaine
Not today.
Not this thread.
Go away and forget this thread even exists.
To: Gabz
Thanks Gabz.
