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".
apercu \ˌa-pər-ˈsü\ noun
1. a brief survey or sketch : outline
2. an immediate impression; especially : insight
3. a hasty glance, a glimpse
Example sentence:
I could not figure out how to make the cedilla accent mark for apercu. Extra credit for anyone who can teach me how to do it.
Etymology:
French, from aperçu, past participle of apercevoir to perceive, from Old French aperceivre, from a- (from Latinad-) + perceivre to perceive — more at perceive First Known Use: 1828
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

Go to START on your computer and type in “character map.”
You’ll only need to type in a few letters and the chart will come up. Click on the desired character(s) and hit Select, and then Copy.
Alternatively, when you click on a character, you will see the keystroke code for it in the lower right-hand corner. For instance, the code for the ç is Alt+0231. That is, hold down the ALT Key and type in 0231 and then release the ALT Key.
LOL

Presumably the Rats were too big for cats.
