educe

Postby M. Henri Day » Fri Sep 16, 2005 2:51 pm

In the event this word finds favour in our good doctor's eyes, the credit should go, not to me, but to katioemail, a most welcome newcomer to the Agora, who inspired it with a related suggestion....

Excellent word, and odd that it has not been honored in the Agora. What can we do to educe a favorable response from the Lords of the Agora?

Sad, though, that the inspiration for this post never again deigned to grace us with her presence.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
