Word of the Day

[LunarWeaver]

Cavort: [kuh-vawrt]
verb (used without object)
1. to prance or caper about.
2. to behave in a high-spirited, festive manner; make merry.

tra⋅duce [truh-doos, -dyoos]
–verb (used with object), -duced, -duc⋅ing.
to speak maliciously and falsely of; slander; defame: to traduce someone's character.

pre⋅di⋅lec⋅tion [pred-l-ek-shuhn, preed-]
a tendency to think favorably of something in particular; partiality; preference: a predilection for Bach.


So dictionary.com has a word of the day. I will post said word of the day here and all of us try to use it in a post somewhere. You can link to the post and we'll see how great you are (feel free to use :smug: everywhere).

This is not a game and there are no points. It's just to increase vocabulary, hopefully. Soon you won't need a thesaurus for Eyes on Each Other to make yourself look smart. You'll just naturally seem smart! I'll edit this post every day with the new one!

Word of the day:

a⋅mel⋅io⋅rate [uh-meel-yuh-reyt, uh-mee-lee-uh-]

–verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -rat⋅ed, -rat⋅ing.
to make or become better, more bearable, or more satisfactory; improve; meliorate.

Go use it~

I only have 2 more hours of today, and I have nobody to talk to. :( I will never complete this word of the day usage!

[LunarWeaver]

Just go to the Final Fantasy IX forum and say you prefer Quina because he/she cavorts all day or something! You prefer happy characters, you see. I believe in you, Shauna. There's surely somewhere it can be squeezed in without being spam. Or, I dunno, go to Evastio's thread and say you saw a member look-alike and you cavorted all day afterward.

[Shauna]

:love: I will endeavour to do this.

I did one too! (http://forums.eyesonff.com/2730331-post40.html)

[Rantz]

http://forums.eyesonff.com/2730304-post6.html, I hope editing it into posts count!

[LunarWeaver]

:mymelmagic: I'll go ahead and do another one!

[Meat Puppet]

I’ve been getting the word of the day emailed to me every day for the past 3 years. There was a time when I tried to weave the word of the day into posts here, but general lameness by the people made me quit.

[Rantz]

I used it somewhere in here (http://forums.eyesonff.com/converse.php?u=12568&u2=22222)! Also Kyle, you should probably put the new word in a new post when you update so everyone notices the update.

[LunarWeaver]

Well, I bumped it and used a mymel :colbert: Your high expectations of me have given me four gray hairs.

[Quindiana Jones]

I traduced your mum.

[LunarWeaver]

As per Rantzien's Molly Weasley demand, I'll put it here first.


predilection
\preh-d'l-EK-shun; pree-\ , noun:
1. A predisposition to choose or like; an established preference: A predilection for Bach.

Now I will watch as nobody uses it :colbert: Except Quin, who hopefully says he has a predilection for my mom.

I already did mine! (http://forums.eyesonff.com/2730744-post21.html)

[Old Manus]

Heh, yeah. (http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-chat/127359-my-coliseum-wager-elixir-2.html#post2730749)

Damn! I've become predictable!

EDIT: Use it in a post? Pah! I'll use it for a thread! (http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-xii/127395-i-have-predilection-basch.html#post2730757)

...and I used it in Quin's thread! (http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-xii/127395-i-have-predilection-basch.html#post2730757) Double usage yay!

[Quindiana Jones]

Come on come on! Next word! :mad2:

[Jiro]

I have a predilection for having a new word. Am I doing it right? :confused:

[LunarWeaver]

Alright, here we go, so Quindo stops chewing me about keeping the thread going.

a⋅mel⋅io⋅rate [uh-meel-yuh-reyt, uh-mee-lee-uh-]

–verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -rat⋅ed, -rat⋅ing.
to make or become better, more bearable, or more satisfactory; improve; meliorate.

Hopefully more people do this and ameliorate the thread!

I did mine. (http://forums.eyesonff.com/2731473-post25.html)

[Quindiana Jones]

This thread ameliorates GC.

[rubah]

I thought standard usage was ameliorating effect.
