A.Word.A.Day
with Anu Garg

What makes a good usage example for a word? It's not one single attribute.
We try to find examples that, besides illustrating a word clearly, are
topical, short, funny, and informative, though it's not always feasible to
have it all. When it's an unusual word, we're lucky to find more than a
couple of recent examples of its use.

Readers sometimes ask if they can read the whole story mentioned in the
usage example. It's not always possible as the quoted article may not be
freely available on the web.

This week's five words have interesting usage examples and include links to
their complete texts. These examples are from several fields -- technology,
religion, politics, literature, zoology, and more -- but they are all worth
reading and provide food for thought.
