The Word of the Day for October 11 is:
acedia \uh-SEE-dee-uh\ (noun)
: apathy, boredom
Example sentence:
Kate oftens browses old posts on the dz forums to erase her ever dwelling acedia while being grounded...

Somehow I feel we can create example sentences of todays word in reference to Nates knee to cheer him...
Did you know?
"Acedia" comes from a combination of the negative prefix
"a-" and the Greek noun "kedos," meaning "care, concern, grief."
(The Greek word "akedeia" became "acedia" in Late Latin, and
that spelling was retained in English.) "Acedia" initially
referred specifically to the "deadly sin" of sloth. It first
appeared in print in English in 1607 describing ceremonies
which could induce this sin in ministers and pastors, but that
sense is now rare. It now tends to be used more generally to
simply imply a lack of interest or caring, although it still
carries overtones of laziness as well as apathy.
