  1. I knew this one! Or at least I knew the adjective: ubiquitous; so I could guess. (Learned the adj through the weekly "wordzzle challenge" I partake in...)

  2. This is one of my all time favorite words! Ubiquitous! Seemingly everywhere at once. I think I posted once about having a word of the week with my kids. This was the first word! I don't know about my kids, but I have NEVER forgotten! I'll have to ask them! :)
