ineluctable, adj. - that cannot be escaped from, as a fate.
How would this be used in a sentence? Is it ineluctable that I would find Alpha Agora through my "Good Word"? Or does "ineluctable" have a more serious air to it?

Two opinions.

1. Use inelcutable in any case that you might also use inescapable.

2. A given word is only as serious as the context of its sentence. Many of us Alpha Agorans are ineluctably prone to use serious words in frivolous contexts.

O Dear! I'm still laughing out loud. I have the same problem...speaking/writing with great words when in the company of those I believe to be intellectual. Well, here's a "Right On!" to you and a "Thank you" for a great beginning to my morning.
