Welcome BioDork, Mei, Splatt, Brennus, Anthony, and kathleen to the fourth Veto competition of the game.

First of all, I have some news: Alex, I hope you're okay, but we are too close to the jury to have inactive members, and you have not been on since October 13th. Therefore, you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.

Competitors, here is the game. You must all go to dictionary.com and look up the Words of the Day for the following dates. Then, you must use them all correctly in a sentence, giving clear context within the sentence as to what the word means.

1. Today
2. Yesterday
3. June 29, 2001
4. May 3, 1999
5. May 7, 1999
6. December 9, 2006
7. July 19, 2000
8. January 9, 2007
9. five Halloweens ago
10. May 16, 2005

For part 2, you will translate these Spanish words and tell me what they all have in common.

1. aplomo
2. sangre fría
3. compostura
4. desenvoltura
5. calma

And then you must list another word that shares that same common item -- in Spanish, of course.

You all have 24 hours to PM me your results. Good luck!

Like Wednesday and the others?

I think I might be able to help.....

He isn't looking for the definition of Wednesday... or Tuesday....... On Dictionary.com there is a part that has the word of the day.....

Find the Word of the day....

Does that answer what you asked?

Anthony Member+ [M:0] It's better to regret something you did do rather than something you didn't!

Any chance we can get an extension on this challenge? I can't do it now, have exam work to do. If not then don't worry, just don't think I'm inactive, LOL.
