WORD OF THE WEEK:
PAINSTAKING
pains·tak·ing (pānz′tā′kĭng, pān′stā′kĭng)
PART OF SPEECH/DEFINITION:
ADJ.: 1. Involving great care and attention.
SENTENCE: She was quite deft with her ability to avoid a painstaking task that could only conjure up a full-throated, schmaltzy, and not oblique response from some run-of-the-mill doyen extolling about garish appearances being a sordid talisman that could not curry favor with those in charge.
