#1 Word of the Day

In light of my current internship position as a copywriter, I've decided to learn a word a day. Can you imagine? By the end of my 2-month stint, I would've learned 60 words. Somebody say WOOOW!

To help me with this, I've subscribed to Dictionary.com's Word of the Day whereby a new word is emailed to me each day, coupled with definitions and examples - I highly recommend it!

Before I go on, let me warn you, this will probably bore you to death. If so, just skip it. This really is for myself, and because it's on this blog, it'll be archived.

Here goes nothing!

#1 "suffrage"

suffrage \SUHF-rij\, noun:

1. The right to vote, especially in a political election.
2. A vote given in favor of a proposed measure, candidate, or the like.
3. In Christian practice, a prayer, especially a short intercessory prayer or petition.

My Application:

"Remember a time where our forefathers had to lay down their lives during the suffrage movement just to earn the right to vote? Had they known that free and fair elections would one day be denied anyway, perhaps the only thing worth laying down should have been their pickets."
