This will make a PERDURABLE impression!
Word of the Day for Wednesday, February 13, 2008
perdurable \pur-DUR-uh-bul; pur-DYUR-\, adjective:
Very durable; lasting; continuing long.
Now when I saw this word this morning from dictionary.com my first thought was - I hope that MR. CLICKER’s popularity with the students that I substitute teach for is PERDURABLE, because he makes my day each day that I teach.
My SECOND thought was, why not just say LASTING or VERY DURABLE…..then I read the following, duh, if you are going to use ELABORATE words then PERDURABLE just fits right in…..look at the sentence below……WOW. 
Have a COPACETIC day!
In her first book, Lisa See . . . tackles a family — her own — whose intricate genealogy, bravura entrepreneurship,
bitter adulteries and perdurable rivalries might have intimidated a lesser chronicler into euphemism.
