Word of the Day

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

Hi guys,

  Its me that crazed Texas Tech fan.  I get a word of the day e-mail everyday and wanted to share with you some intersting words that I ran across. 

  Heterodox - Hetero - means different and dox - way of thinking or my personal favorite magesterium.  Heterodox means you think differently in different beliefs and ect.

  I thought this word might be cool to share, becuase we all are heterodox people.  Again I ramble.

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

Anne.  What kind of troubled childhood caused you to be a Texas Tech Red Raider fan?   

Actually, it's us UT Longhorn fans that have our heads burried in the sand after losing to K-State and AtM.

Love in Christ

Longhorn,

  I will be the first to admit, my Red Raiders did disappoint me this year in football.  Yeah we beat A&M, but we lost other games we should not have.   

  I guess I had a very troubling time living so close to the University and all growing up.  I grew up in Brownfield which is abour 30? minutes from Lubbock.

  Yeah, I will say this, I have more respect for UT after pulling that national championship off.  I remember watching it and UT scoring within the last few seconds of the game.  Now that was some football.  I lost my bowel of popcorn and knocked over my drink, that's some excitment.  I do follo UT's progress as well as Tech's.  Vince should not have left UT.

  Thanks.

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

Can anyone use that word of the day in a sentence pertaining to Ray??


gena

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

Gena,

  Hmmm, let's try this one for size.

  Ray does not leave the presentation of truth to peradventure, he rather presents in a well-thought and developed manner.

  Anyone else?


  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

[gmik]

OK, .....I see how that works.....
cool

I am not sure who has the most milking cows here in Mt. Pleasant, it's a toss-up between Greg-or-iris.

Love in Christ

Longhorn

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

I know, I know. Let's go and get a coin and let it decide who's got the most cows!

[longhorn]

Anne, I was using your word of the day "Gregarious" in a sentence.  Greg-or-iris. 

Love in Christ

Longhorn

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

   ooopsies.  I thought you were talking about two people on this forum.  I knew that that was an Iris but I had not seen a Greg.  Dang I just now saw those hypens. 

  Okay, I had a friend over here at my house this afternoon that was from West Texas A&M.  Her influence dumbed me down a little bit.  I think I need to cross the street and get recharged at Texas Tech again. 

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

Kennymac

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

Kenny,

  Works for me.     Sometimes I learn a new word such as yesterday's but am unable to use it in a sentence.

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

Howdy you all,

  Today's word of the day.

rue \ROO\ verb

*transitive sense: to feel penitence, remorse, or regret for
intransitive sense : to feel sorrow, remorse, or regret

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

[rrammfcitktturjsp]

Howdy to All,

  Here's the word of day.

  belated \bih-LAY-tud\ adjective

1 : delayed beyond the usual time
*2 : existing or appearing past the normal or proper time

Did you know?
Long ago, there was a verb "belate," which meant "to make late." From the beginning, "belate" tended to mostly turn up in the form of its past participle "belated." Eventually, "belate" itself fell out of use, leaving behind "belated" as an adjective that preserved the original notion of delay. As you may have guessed, "belate" and its descendant "belated" derive from the adjective "late"; "belate" was formed by simply combining the prefix "be-" ("to cause to be") with "late."

  I will see you later. 

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

Hi to All,

Here's the word of the day.

  ex cathedra \eks-kuh-THEE-druh ("th" is as in "think")\ adjective

: by virtue of or in the exercise of one's office or position

Did you know?
"Ex cathedra" is a Latin phrase, meaning not "from the cathedral," but "from the chair." The phrase does have religious origins though: it was originally applied to decisions made by Popes from their thrones. According to Roman Catholic doctrine, a Pope speaking ex cathedra on issues of faith or morals is infallible. In general use, the phrase has come to be used with regard to statements made by people in positions of authority, and it is often used ironically to describe someone speaking with overbearing or unwarranted self-certainty.

[mari_et_pere]

"speaking with overbearing or unwarranted self-certainty."

Well, in originating with the pope, I reckon that fits quite well!
