Word of the Day

Prestress- to apply stress to

I chose this for the word of the day because I find it sort of ironic. Prestress sounds like something before stress, but it is in fact not.

Word of the Day

Militate- to operate against or in favor of

Does this make any sense to you? I don't know if it's just me, but that doesn't make sense. Is operating against someone? Or for someone? I think that they should make two seperate words. It is pointless to make a word like this when you can't use it without putting against or for around it.

Word of the Day

This is my public apology to everyone for slacking on the word of the day. But now I am back on track and I think everyone else should jump on the bandwagon. No posts since Christmas? That's bogus. Anyway, the word of the day is...

Repast- a meal

I thought this was very interesting becuase I thought there was just breakfast, lunch, dinner, and meal. But no, now I can say: "I'm going to evening repast tonight." That sounds sort of intelligent I guess.
