Word of the Week!

So a hectic week at work prevented me from revealing the winner to the word box last Wednesday as promised. We didn't really have any words submitted to the box, but fishfrog did ask what the difference is between these two words:

fornicate - to have sex without being married
copulate - to engage in sexual introcourse.

So, you can copulate without fornicating, but you cannot fornicate with out copulating. A classic case of squares and rectangles.

I've decided it's time to take a vacation from the word box. I still love words, but it's less fun for all of us than it used to be. Maybe we'll see the box in the future, but for now I'm putting it to rest. Thanks to all who've played.
