Where did it come from? - 15

Bob,

Where in the heck did you come up with the word "Proclivity". Was this possibly a word the nuns misspelled in the spelling contest between nuns vs. librarians in Ohio?
Ann Swindell and Betsy Smith would be proud!

Re: Where did it come from?
I have a plethora of big words in my repertoire, but have a tendency towards fanciful pronunciation of the same.

Will, Bob must read "word of the day". It was the word of the day on April 5 2002. I'll give him an A for his memory!

Re: Where did it come from?
I will never forget April 5, 2002. It was a day that dawned like any other, but I soon found myself struggling to find a word that would give definition to my inclination or predisposition toward something. Then there it was right in front of me, filling my heart, as well as my marginal intellect, with a joy known few times prior to that moment. Then I went down the hall and got another doughnut.
Hope you folks have a great reunion, and wish I could make this one.
