Word Of The Day

This is actually the word of yesterday: On my Weird and Wonderful Words calendar, yesterday's word was "ignotism," defined as "an obsolete word meaning 'a mistake due to ignorance.'" Doesn't that define exactly the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, and, indeed the entire oeuvre of the maladministration that those elections put in power?

Used in a sentence: "America has been suffering for nearly six years from unprecedented ignotism."

Maybe it's time to unretire that word, to bring it back from obsolescence.
