wishcursive when a teacher wishes handwriting were still taught to today's button-pushing students.
miscursive what we will have when no one will be able to sign their own names any longer: and then will have to have barcodes on their wrists for identification purposes.

A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg impregnable
PRONUNCIATION:(im-PREG-nuh-buhl) MEANING:adjective: 1. Incapable of being taken by force; strong enough to withstand attack. 2. Capable of being impregnated. ETYMOLOGY: For 1: From Old French imprenable, from in- (not) + prenable (vulnerable to capture), from prendre (to take, seize). Ultimately from the Indo-European root ghend-/ghed- (to seize, take), which is also the source of pry, prey, spree, reprise, surprise, pregnant, osprey, prison, and get. Earliest documented use: 1430. For 2: From Latin impraegnaere (to fertilize, impregnate). Ultimately from the Indo-European root gen- (to give birth), which also gave birth to words such as generate, engine, indigenous, and germ. ________________________________
impegnable - to be capable of being pegged or not.

psychological moment - an example of psychobabble: meaingless, overblown, self-consciously pompous and needlessly complex, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. Don't like the phrase to begin with. So there.
psychological foment - stir up trouble by pushing people's buttons...
