    And it wouldn't be boards.ie if ecksor didn't post just after midnight EVERY night the word of the day - a task that simply involves coping and pasting into google.

    Breathtaking - especially when someone bothers to reply to the previous word of the day.

    2. Possessed as an essential characteristic; inherent.
    3. Of or produced by the mind rather than learned through experience: an innate knowledge of right and wrong.

    That last word was my suggestion, since we've run out of other suggestions. If you have particular suggestions, I'd love to see them here.


    Please only suggest on word that you'd *really* like to see and really like, rather then posting 20 different words because they're difficult to spell or some website offers a 20 random word service (or whatever).

    I will finish the automation of this and allow others go get in on the act and improve the suggestion methods just as soon as I get over my current rut.
