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 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!

–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]

I will endeavour to do this.

[LunarWeaver]

I did one too!

[LunarWeaver]

I'll go ahead and do another one!

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! 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 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 Except Quin, who hopefully says he has a predilection for my mom.

I already did mine!

[Old Manus]

Heh, yeah.

[Quindiana Jones]

Damn! I've become predictable!

EDIT: Use it in a post? Pah! I'll use it for a thread!
