Word of the Day
Friday, April 20, 2007
Extinct (adjective) - Void; no longer existing in living form; having died out; inactive; in honor of Earth Day this weekend, I wanted us to contemplate a familiar word for Word of the Day (from Latin ex(s)tinguere to extinguish)
Word in a Sentence: In Sandy Lender's novel Choices Meant for Gods, the eventual extinction of mankind is implied in the shortage of marriable and childbearing-age women in the world of Onweald.
Your turn! What though-provoking sentences can you share with us with our Word of the Day today?
"Some days, I just want the dragons to all stay alive."
