      Default Use This Word

      This is a chance to learn more vocabulary words. At least seven people must use the word before someone else picks the new word. You may not pick two in a row.


      invariably adv. constantly: without variation or change, in every case; "constantly kind and gracious"; "he always arrives on time"



      The woman would arrive at the office, invariably sip her coffee, and read the newpaper before working on her special projects.

      Nathan, I enjoy the fact that you invariably provide me with a healthy dose of food for thought.

      Good idea!



      Whenever I try to get some time to work on the board, (or just post) invariably Seryn will hear the keyboard and think it's time to come and mash the keys as much as she can, if I am fast (like just now) I can save my work and open a new page just for her to play with.

      Every morning I invariably went to dictionary.com to get a word a day.

      I was thinking about having us pick a daily word...but I don't know how that would be with our oversea friends. Do you think the current rule is good. In other words, do you think there are enough people interested? Or should I make it at leastl five people using the word before we move on to the next word?

      Well, I for one, think it is a good rule and fair rule.

      Who knows maybe over time the number will increase to 10!

      I'm probably the most crazy.
      It's time for someone to pick another word!

      LOL. Nathan. I belive it to be a healthy way of being.

      I'll provide a new word. But I will only provide the word, without definition or source as to add a bit more of a challenge. If you (the reader) apply a bit of logic and reasoning you'll be able to accurately use the word in a sentence.
      'Atman'

      Not wounded by weapons,
      Not burned by fire,
      Not dried by the wind,
      Not wetted by water;
      Such is the Atman

      He then knew what he had to do. It was as if he, driven by his Atman, had a newly tempered desire to do the things that now mattered to him most...or else he felt that he just might parish from sheer boredom.

      Okay. This game is no fun if no one is playing.
      Perhaps I should allow someone else to choose a different word.

      Atman is perhaps a bit esoteric for most...or maybe it's because of the weekend.

      How about If words get less than a response of four in one day we will move on to the next word?

      I like Atman though.

      We are all Atman; who arrive from the same source: Brahman, that indescribable, inexhaustible, omnicient, omnipresent, original, first, eternal and absolute principle, who is without a beginning, without an end, who is hidden in all and who is the cause source material and effect of all creation known, unknown and yet to happen in the entire universe.
