Word of the Day or WOTD: Obviate
I've been meaning to post an entry as of late but for one reason or another, I've found myself unable to update. I think a l ot of it is busyness.
So, I am trying to come up with new ways for me to post things just to get back in the habit of posting day to day. One thing that I really enjoy is learning new words. I subscribe to word of the day from dictionary.com. Yes, that is kind of a nerdy thing to do but I am not ashamed to be labled as such. If the word fits, use it.
Today's word is obviate and it means to anticiapte and prevent or eliminate by effective measures; render unnecessary; to obviate the risk of serious injury.
The first thing that came to my mind after some thought was Jack Baur on 24. He was always obviating something serious from happening. That show was definitely ahead of its time. And now, I'm trying to think of a way to use this word in something recent that has happened to me. An example, I wish someone would obviate the election this year in November. We do need a new president, however.
