#9 / Word Of The Year

That "Word of the Day" exercise is a good way to build vocabulary. Here's my nomination for "Word of the Year," with credit to Dictionary.com:

se·ri·ous
adjective

1. of, showing, or characterized by deep thought.

2. of grave or somber disposition, character, or manner: a serious occasion; a serious man.

3. being in earnest; sincere; not trifling: His interest was serious.

4. requiring thought, concentration, or application: serious reading; a serious task.

5. weighty or important: a serious book; marriage is a serious matter.

6. giving cause for apprehension; critical: The plan has one serious flaw.

7. Medicine/Medical. (of a patient's condition) having unstable or otherwise abnormal vital signs and other unfavorable indicators, as loss of appetite and poor mobility: patient is acutely ill.

That is about where I am headed. I think it's a serious year coming up!
