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....

Trust me I am.

[RikaStrom]

OMG, you must be a terror to that teacher. I love it!

I had the misfortune on both flights last week of sitting in front of liberal teachers. I was lucky that I didn't start a riot on the plane.

[RikaStrom]

The day started to dang early!

Happy Birthday CD!

[xsmommy]

hey, no fair, i took the kids to school at 8 am!

[hobbes1]

Yes, last week, she started to go on and on about Social Medicine, and I let her go on and on, carefully letting her set the trap, when she got to the inadequacies(she may be liberal, but not blindly so, and she usually shows the bad points) due to limited Medical resources, I said

But if we remove the Capital incentive from practicing medicine, wouldnt we also have a dearth of medical resources....Another abrupt subject change...
