Word For The Day, Monday, 2/8/10
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".
iterative
1. repeating; making repetition; repetitious. 2. Grammar. frequentative.
Etymology: 1480–90; < LL iterātīvus. See iterate, -ive
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
The Winter of 2010!! lol
well the end times may come with a blizzard and this may be just the start!
Yep.
Most girl-type people have two. That either doubly dubiously redundant, or pleasantly reititerative.
are you home yet?
You like charcoal on the grille, or fire underneath from natural gas/propane?
(PS. Good lucre with the ex-ex... )
Just in about 30 minutes ago> The boss paid per diem and hotel bill for the weekend, but I had no chargeable hours.
Pretty blah sitting in a hotel room for two days when you don’t really really really have to be out of town. It was worse i think than being just off for a day while on a job because with the 24” snow (er, global warming) there was nothing open and nothing to “see” like museums or local historical sites.
It sounds like you and gabz are going to get hammered again on Tuesday, Wed, and Thursday.
it would be a drag and i feel sorry you had to be away from home and bored. not much to see out the airport way there, snow or not. i am not looking forward to this. enough was enough and we have had ENOUGH.
At least they spoke English. You could wander into the lobby or lounge and find someone to talk to.
I couldn’t do that on my boring weekend in Shanghai.
They’re saying another 6-10 inches for us, starting tomorrow noonish through Wednesday.
I remember after spending a week in Zhangjiagang (on business), we were thrilled to get to Shangai for three days because we saw other Americans. We almost wept with joy to see a Tony Roma's. We had eaten Chinese food for a week (and I'm not even crazy about Chinese food - here or there) and that barbecued stuff never tasted so good.
i feel sorrier for me than for you ; )
you should have been out and about mingling with the commies and soaking up their culture! robt would have! LOL!
Funny how that works, huh? ;-)
i can imagine! i love chinese food here, but would be very leery about eating it over there. in fact the idea of it makes my stomach turn over just a bit!
Key word there. We. Plural.
I'm not much of a "hey let's go roaming around sightseeing on weird forms of transportation by myself" kind of guy.
I did share a smoke with those Chinese Army guys.
i am basing it strictly on the math. i have 32 inches now with up to another foot expected. you have two feet maybe with 6-8 coming. objectively speaking i have it worse. add in a broken shovel and your functioning snowblower and there’s no contest.
robt is precisely that sort of weirdo who would do that, i wager!
that’s when they wiped out your ping list.
Yeah, but you’re a girl and you have men about the house to do the grunt work. And you work for an employer who is very lenient about snow days.
