Words are everywhere these days

Somehow I got myself signed up for a word-a-day email from dictionary.com. They're all good words, of course, perfectly serviceable, but I never remember them for more than an hour or two before they recede into the general buzz. That thing they say about using the new word three times in a sentence doesn't work for me, mostly because I cheat.

But this morning, reading a newspaper (maybe we should start calling them newsscreens), I ran across a really good new word, one definitely worth keeping: tendentious.

Look it up.
