Word of the day

Which reminds me of YKWIA, who is about as imminently logical as a Vulcan:

Apodictic (\ap-uh-DIK-tik\ , adjective;):
1. Necessarily true or logically certain.
2. Incontestable because of having been demonstrated or proved to be demonstrable.

Apodictic evolves from the Greek apodeiktikós, "proving fully."

They should not be taken as representative of any other individuals, group, or organisation. Whilst I try to keep my facts straight, this is a journal and not meant to be definitive. Feel free to quote if you like, but please give me credit for anything I wrote and a link back here would be appreciated.
