I'm gonna' be introducing a new feature here called a Word Survey. I could use it my normal polling spot over on the right toolbar, but I think this sort of survey will require a disclaimer that must be posted each time.
Here's how it goes. I'll give you a word and four possible definitions. I will try to find a hard word, a word that's pretty unique. (At least, to me...)
But this disclaimer is this...don't go look it up. Use your head and try to deduce the definition. We all know that you can go over to http://www.dictionary.com/ and find the answer, but where's the fun in that?
I think we're all comfortable within the confines of the honor system here...
Here we go!
___________________________________________________
inculcate
1. To teach and impress by frequent repetition or instruction.
2. Holding obstinately to a belief, purpose or design; also, stubbornly persistent.
3. Incapable of being removed or erased.
4. Hardened in feelings or in wrongdoing; unyielding.

Of course, if you actually KNOW the answer, then you're really smart and cool and you and I should definitely be best friends. I guess if you want people to know how smart you are, you could throw a "K" beside your vote, signifying "known."
But then does everybody else have to put a "G" for "guess"?
Up to you, gang.

Um I'm stupid, so I have no idea. But, I'll go with #4.
Thanks Todd! 1) For showing me how uncool I am by your little survey. And 2) For making me feel stupid for not knowing yet another word that I'm sure Lance and Ross know and actually use in everyday vernacular.
Rob, you didn't vote.
1-it's a word I like to use when discussing Soviet history and/or my classic rock leanings.
#4 G
