Random Words

I thought I'd start something odd. Random Words from the dictionary. I've always known that my spelling was quite bad and have become more aware of it since starting this blog. You see, the dictionary has been warming my lap on just about every post. Sure, the bloggers spell checker has helped a lot, but doesn't know ah damn thing about grammar when it comes to words that have multiple meanings based on the context of their use. And although I have a technical background, by general vocabulary is probably right on par with a majority of the nation. Which happens to be the seventh grade (don't quote me, that number just rings a bell form some news story I heard some years ago).

So how this will usually work is I'll pick a random page and a random word from the dictionary. If the word is already common. I'll pick again. Got it! So let us head back to school. The word for the moment is:

Tacit - 1: expressed or carried on without words or speech. 2a: implied or indicated but not actually expressed <~consent> 2b: (1) arising without express contract or agreement (2): arising by operation of law<~mortgage>.
