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....
nugatory \NOO-guh-tor-ee\, adjective
1. Trifling; insignificant; inconsequential.
2. Of no force; inoperative; ineffectual.
Etymology: Nugatory comes from Latin nugatorius , from nugari , to trifle, from nugae , jests, trifles. It has nothing to do with nougat, the substance found in some candy bars.

Sorry so late, I had to vote, and they had me listed as inactive, even though I voted in the primary. So we had to fix that.
