[snowstormskies.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand thanks to witchyemerald I ended up with a count MUCH earlier than I expected XD LOL. I'm assuming it's your doing. If it's not, then whoops :D



And I'm pleased to say my count was 4,000 words per day and I made it with twenty minutes to spare with 4045! Finished a big bang, and added five hundred words onto a swinging fic I'm trying to get to a kink bingo fill :D


( DONNA )

But now, it's nearly four am, and I am tired.
( BOO! )

So now, I pass it along to this wonderful person who said weekends only. It's a Saturday. That's a weekend day, right? theladymore Take it away!

Word of the Day 8/3/13

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

Deprecate (verb)
dep·re·cate [dep-ri-keyt]

verb (used with object)
1. to express earnest disapproval of.
2. to urge reasons against; protest against (a scheme, purpose, etc.).
3. to depreciate; belittle.
4. Archaic. to pray for deliverance from.

Synonyms
1. condemn, denounce, disparage. See decry.

Usage note
An early and still the most current sense of deprecate is “to express disapproval of.” In a sense development still occasionally criticized by a few, deprecate has come to be synonymous with the similar but etymologically unrelated word depreciate in the sense “belittle”: The author modestly deprecated the importance of his work. In compounds with self-, deprecate has almost totally replaced depreciate in modern usage: Her self-deprecating account of her career both amused and charmed the audience.

Origin: 1615–25; < Latin dēprecātus prayed against, warded off (past participle of dēprecārī ), equivalent to dē- de- + prec ( ārī ) to pray + -ātus -ate

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.
