mewzilla: "American press is not exactly bruiting about the fact..."

Thanks for that, Word of the Day: bruit " VERB, bruiting (present participle): spread (a report or rumor) widely:
'I didn't want to have our relationship bruited about the office.' "

I never saw it before, great word, should be more widely bruited. ;-)

And thank you for your comments about the word. I’m still half asleep and just glossed over it as a typing snafu. It’s now so seldom used that it took me awhile to recall that in my younger days I was familiar with it.

“I never saw it before, great word, should be more widely bruited.”

That is one for the tally book of every American.

Thanks for looking it up.

I assumed a typed but could not figure out it was supposed to be.
