I recently subscribed to the "Word of the Day" from Dictionary.com, and now that I'm learning a new word every day, I figured the least I can do is share those words with (the few of) you and that way make the world a more wordly one.
So here goes. The word of the day for June 22nd was COUNTERVAIL.
Countervail -
1. To act against with equal force, power, or effect; to counteract.
2. To compensate for; to offset; to furnish or serve as an equivalent to.
3. To exert force against an opposing, often bad, influence or power.
Hope you feel smarter already!
