WOTW 11/26/06
Hey folks. Welcome to the word of the week! Please remember to use this week's word as much as is humanly possible in your everyday conversations. Without further ado, here's our word:
-depredicate (dē-prĕd'ĭ-kāt) v.t. --> to publish, proclaim, announce
Ex: The woman loudly depredicated her decision to quit her job due to her dislike of leaving the house in the frigid weather.
And now, for this week's random fact/quote, which is in honor of our turkey-eating tradition:
Two years after the bald eagle became the official bird of the United States, Benjamin Franklin wrote this to his daughter: "I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country; he is a Bird of bad moral Character; like those among Men who live by Sharping and Robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The Turkey is a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America. He is (though a little vain and silly, it is true, but not the worst emblem for that) a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his farmyard with a red coat on."
Alrighty folks, I hope you have an amazing week. Please be sure to participate in our music contest, where you can win a $10 gift certificate or a CD! It's insanely fun, I'm not even kidding. OK, I will write to you all in the very near future. Au revoir!
Your favorite physician,
Dr. J
