I feel you. :( It's the first thing I thought of, too.

Yeah, after 3 years.

I'm sorry to hear that. How long ago did it happen?
Mine was 1 year and 4 four months. She broke up with me a week ago today.

spelling

I'm confused. Is "extracate" a misspelling of "extricate," or are the two words related somehow?

Thanks for fixing it so quickly.

How about, "James Bond often extricated himself from perilous situations with Q's gadgets." :-)

:) ty now i need to wait until you show what perilous means XD

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize English is not your first language.
Perilous is a synonym for dangerous.

Peril: exposure to the risk of being injured, destroyed, or lost

I think it's cool how you pick words that I recently had to learn for my English class. This one was actually on our last quiz.

Hi. Love this, btw. I kinda always thought about subscribing to a word a day, but never wanted them cluttering my email.

Jeopardy had 'tortuous' on tonight. It was a new one for me. I'll probably still used 'twisted' but someone may like it.

I love the idea of this community, but it would make such an impact if you had an example sentance for every word that was on here.
