Word of the Day: abysmal

Word of the day - adaptability: the quality of being able to adjust to new conditions. (Please quote and reply by using it in your own sentence!)

My dietary adaptability skills are being challenged by the demise of my refrigerator!

Adaptability is not my strongest gift.

Who adds the new words Em? Do you do them all?

No - anyone can add a word!!! I have no idea how/if this will actually work. I wrote out several formats and gave up. But, you got it... so maybe! Please, add a word!
 
The more it is needed, the more adaptability is put to the test.


How often would the word change, Em?

Are they alphabetical?:unsure:

I thought of it going alphabetical. Also thought that we could have more than one word of the day submitted by different folks. Really - I didn't have a clear plan, though I drew up many... So, open to suggestions!
 
Possibly just choose any of those possible plans...:unsure:
And we'll try it, and see how it goes....and change it later, if it seems helpful...?
 
I spoke to Matrix today - something that I should have done before trying to start this thread... Got great responses from Matrix, but didn't get a chance to go through and finalize a plan. The Word of the Day will be a 'go,' I just don't know on what day! (I'm a space junky and spent way too much time watching the launch and docking) ... Stay tuned! I really enjoy this thread - I just need to finalize how to make it work well!
 
That is fine, and there's certainly no reason for you to feel rushed regarding it,
and thanks for filling us in, @Em in Ohio :)

Though, I see no reason not to continue our obviously generous amounts of adaptability, in the meantime, do you?
:ROFLMAO: :)
 
I just private messaged Matrix and think we have a plan... I'll let everyone know tomorrow, as there is probably a time difference and I'm waiting for a reply. By the way, it seems that I will be the only one posting the words and they will be on separate threads, but I want others to send me their own word suggestions via private messaging. That way, I get to be challenged too!

Well, I tend to be an early riser and am surprised when Matrix responds within minutes! That's why I think there is a definite time difference in play... Regular people don't wake up at 3:30 AM!

@Em in Ohio I am a chronic insomniac and have been my whole life
I can sleep in front of the TV and I sleep in bed in about 2 hour instalments but always broken sleep
I often login on my laptop when it seems likes the rest of the world is asleep šŸ˜“
I will look forward to a new word game :)

@Em in Ohio ... there used to be a 'Word for the Day' in the English Language section of the board (not in Games)
Haven't seen it used in a long time though.

https://www.seniorforums.com/threads/word-for-today-glebe.15859/

Everyday a new word was started in a new thread.

Thanks for the link, Bonnie. It is an example of what I want to avoid. Rather than folks using the word 'gleve,' they just added comments. While relevant and informative regarding the word, it isn't what I envisioned.

The 'look' that I am going for is more like this:
https://www.seniorforums.com/threads/last-word-word-pairs.41903/

So, I like the idea of the thread that you shared as far as using a word, but I'd like people to only respond with sentences using different forms of the words - neat and clean, like the link for 'last-word-word pairs.'

Did you mean different forms of the word, @Em in Ohio
in what you just wrote here,
such as tense, etc,
OR, did you mean differing usages of the word, with various settings and/or, variations on nuances of meanings, as well as the word used as different parts of speech?

You don't need to reply specifically to this post. I am able to wait, and see what the new game looks like. :)

By the way, I slightly paraphrased and posted this description to the sticky - You did a much better job of describing what I hoped to see!
