OP plebiscite ['plɛbýˌsaýt, -sýt]
noun
1 a direct vote by the electorate of a state, region, etc., on some question of usually national importance, such as union with another state or acceptance of a government programme
2 any expression or determination of public opinion on some matter
See also: referendum
[ETYMOLOGY: 16th Century: from Old French plebiscite, from Latin plebiscitum decree of the people, from plebs the populace + scitum, from sciscere to decree, approve, from scire to know]
plebiscitary [plə'býsýtərý] adjective
I would appreciate a "plebiscite" reflecting members' feelings about a request I have had from sjmax that I
cease and desist from posting above the middle of the fora.
In doing so, I have carefully avoided using the popular
fora. AwAD in Schools has only six hundred posts. Nobody
ever posted in Weekly Themes until I started doing so
My aim has been to post as many words as I could find that
might interest members, in hope of increasing participation.
I hope all members who share Max's objection will add their
voice to his, so that I may know the pleasure of the Board.
