WORD OF THE DAY

I found vacilate, but not vacilate.

For the last week or so I have had to stop myself a few times using the word 'insulant'.

ALST

(Founf is another word for found.)

Insulant is just a made up word.

I couldn't help it.

i STILL dnt know what vassilate means!!

btw on my Uni work my professor write "I forts commend you on such a great piece of work, blah blah blah"

what does FORTS mean? or was it a spelling error?

From Admin's link:

vacillate

verb

1. To move back and forth or from side to side, as if about to fall: sway, teeter, totter, waver, weave, wobble. See repetition.
2. To be irresolute in acting or doing: dither, falter, halt², hesitate, pause, shilly-shally, stagger, waver, wobble. See decide/hesitate.
3. To change one's attitudes or policies, for example: swing, waver. See change/persist, decide/hesitate.

Forts in that context seems to be a spelling error or something misread. But you got commended.

gotta say my typing is terrible. My right hand seems to type faster than my left... or is the other way round?

no idea what forts is though.

ASININE

The word "sanction" is of a type called a contronym or antagonym, having two virtually opposite meanings. By one definition to sanction means to boycott, and by another definition, to permit or approve. My word of the day is contronym.
