    Word of the Day: Punctilio

    Definition:
    1. A fine point, particular, or detail, as of conduct, ceremony, or procedure.
    2. Strictness or exactness in the observance of formalities or amenities.
    3. A minute detail of conduct in a ceremony or in observance of a code.
    4. Careful observance of forms (as in social conduct)

    Examples:
    1. Without fail, the punctilio required during each of Ms. Layman’s garden parties was for the attendees to raise their glasses and give a cheer to the patron saint of married women.
    2. The punctilio at the school’s annual awards day ceremony always called for the students to march into the gymnasium like little soldiers at the beginning of the ceremony.
    3. Since the club had a strict code of conduct, the punctilio of reading the minutes seemed pointless due to the few trivial events that took place.

    Word of the Day: Unreconstructed

    Definition:
    1. Not reconciled to political, economic, or social change.
    2. Holding stubbornly to a particular belief, view, place, or style

    Examples:
    1. "When Jane Austen wrote 'Pride and Prejudice' in the early years of the 19th century, there was no heroic place for the unreconstructed nerd in the throbbing romantic novel." — Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune, 22 Nov. 2016
    2. "Writers of all descriptions are stampeding to buy word processors. Machines have already become so user-friendly that even the most unreconstructed of Luddites can be charmed into laying down the old sledgehammer and stroking a few keys instead." — Thomas Pynchon, The New York Times, 28 Oct. 1984
