Word for the Day for Saturday, January 10, 2009

The Word for Today is Resolve.

First, it was positive (i.e. New Year's "Resolutions") and negative (i.e. Bush telling us to keep our "Resolve" in an illegal Iraq war) uses of the word. Then, second time through, I honored one of the common links Google gives me when I ask it for definitions.

That link Google gave me last time was Wordnet at Princeton (unfortunately down tonight), which actually gave me some wonderful definitions today, such as, "resolution: a formal expression by a meeting; agreed to by a vote", and "conclude: reach a conclusion after a discussion or deliberation".

Have you made your New Year's Resolutions yet this year?
