Hi everyone. Since this is my first time posting here, I am going to offer two words of the day, since I've meant to post in here for the past three days. ;-) I have a daily calendar on my desk that has new words. These are words I hadn't heard before:

sententious
\sen-'ten(t)-shes\adj:containing, using, or inclined to use high-sounding phrases or pompous, moralizing language.

By learning new words, we can all be sententious, can't we?

viand
\vi-end\n 1:an item of food; especially:a choice or tasty dish
2:plural:provisions, food

Adam couldn't help smiling as he read the opening line of his invitation to the Smiths annual wine-tasting and dinner party: "Join Us for Vino and Viands."
