;


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".

insuperable; adj.

incapable of being passed over, overcome, or surmounted: an insuperable barrier

Etymology: mid-14c., "unconquerable," from Latin insuperabilis "that cannot be passed over, unconquerable," from in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1)) + superabilis "that may be overcome," from superare "to overcome," from superus "one that is above," from super "over" (see super- ). Figurative use from 1650s. Related: Insuperably.

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.

Practice makes perfect.....post on....
