I'll bet your email was the same as my email, wwh.
Here's a paste:
"The Word of the Day for October 25 is:
vatic • \VAT-ik\ • (adjective)
: prophetic, oracular
Example sentence:
Andy's years of experience bird-watching have given him a vatic ability to
name the precise day each bird will appear in the spring.
Did you know?
Some people say only thin lines separate poetry, prophecy, and madness. We
don't know if that's generally true, but it is in the case of "vatic." The
adjective derives directly from the Latin word "vates," meaning "seer" or
"prophet." But that Latin root is in turn distantly related to an Old
English word for "poetry," an Old High German word for "madness," and an Old
Irish word for "seer" or "poet."
...same email, hmmmmm?
