Word for the Day for Tuesday, January 20, 2009

The Word for Today is Acceptability.

First I asked you if you feel acceptable. Then I, in effect, put the very same question to the Bush Administration. (They haven't given me an answer yet). Finally, I equated Acceptability to Approval.

This time, I want to take a second look at the web definitions, particularly the Wordnet contribution, "satisfactoriness by virtue of conforming to approved standards".

I hear people complaining about how hard it is to be accepted in the world. The above definition suggests that it might not be as hard as it seems.
