There is going to be a new feature of the week: Word of the Week. I am going to list a word that will in some way relate to have a learning disability, and I would like my members to use the word in a sentence.  This will mostly be for the young members on FriendsOfQuinn, but it will be for anybody else who is interested.

There have been some words in the past too, but I just came up with this idea, so it would be great if member could also use some of the past Words of the Week in sentences as well. I will write the word down and then give the definition like I have been doing.

Power:1. ability to do, act, or produce 2. a specific ability or faculty [the power of hearing] 3 great ability to do, act or affect strongly; vigor; force; strength 4 a) the ability to control others; authority; sway; influence b) [pl.] special authority assigned to or exercised by a person or group holding office c) legal ability or authority; also a document giving it 5 a source of physical or mechanical force or energy; force or energy that is at, or can be put to, work [electric power, water power] 6 the rate at which work is done.
