Etymology: 1525–35; < Late Latin irrefragābilis, equivalent to Latin ir- ir-2 + refragā ( rī ) to resist, oppose + -bilis -ble
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....
oh i’m sure there’s plenty of that.
oh Lord no! A+++
saw that too, a CBS affiliate in AZ i think it was. that’s just dandy. what possible explanation could there be for such a thing to be in existence. someone should be up their behinds sideways looking for an answer to that!
You've brought back a memory to me: "Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghhhh!"
CBS News affiliate calls 2012 presidential race for Barack Obama weeks ahead of election
43 to 40? I don't think third parties are going to get 17% of the vote.
There was also a station in the north somewhere (Ohio or Illinois maybe) that did the same thing. My guess is they are getting the graphics ready for election night and plugging in the names and fake numbers to check for spacing, etc and some dufus inserted it accidentally
Dorothy Rabinowitz is good. Glad someone has captured that down the rabbithole feeling! A+++
thanks for that, i NEVER would have imagined it pronounced that way.
A+++ has it made a difference?
According to rabid environmentalists, the “fact” that hydraulically-assisted mining techniques are dangerous is irrefrackable...
i totally agree with you! A+++
saw over the weekend that Romney moved campaign staff to PA, which has to be a positive sign.
we went from Windows 2003 directly to 2010! kind of a seismic shift! my younger daughter has a macbook i have never tried to do anything on it, but i know that you have to backspace to delete just like on all apple products and that’s inconvenient to me! i’d rather highlight and hit delete.
Yes. But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good outrage. ;-)
Did you watch the game last night? What kind of idiot challenges a 1 yard pass play that results in a 3rd and 6?
A Bengals coach.
OMG you live in upstate NY you must know FRACKING is of Satan! A+++
Stay dead my friend, no need to vote this year.
I am praying.
Yes. I’m Office 2003 at work and at home, except for the laptop which has the student verson of Office 2010. I said Win2010 before. That is not correct. My laptop is Win7. My other computers are WinXP (I think). Change has always been seamless, but I understand Win8 is a real jolt. I think I’ll skip it, as I skipped Win2000 and a few other versions. I went directly from Win98 to WinXP and couldn’t tell the difference, for the most part.
But, I don’t like this Office 2010 very much. Too many options. I don’t use it often because I use the laptop mostly for email and surfing the web, so I am not conversant in it. I haven’t mastered the learning curve.
I didn’t watch the game last night. I watched Houston at noon, and switched back and forth hoping to see Scam Newton beaten...he pouts like Vince Young on the sidelines when he is losing so I expect him to have a breakdown like vincy did. My daughter and her husband (still seems weird to write that) came over for our usual Sunday dinner and we watched a movie instead of the game.
