Proposal: Sounding smart

Create a subrule of Departments called Lexical Adjustment:

As a daily action, the Board should set a new Word of the Day, which may be any English word of three or more syllables. The current Word of the Day is publicly tracked, and defaults to Abacus.

As a daily action, an Innie in the department of Lexical Adjustment may decrease the quota of their department by 1 so long as they have used the Word of the Day correctly in an Official Post, or as a comment of an Official Post, within the last hour. To have used it correctly, it must be part of a valid sentence and must not simply a sentence commenting on the word itself (e.g. a comment of “Abacus has 6 letters” would not be valid), though it is not required to fit in the context of the other sentences of the post or comment.

I think this is pretty easy to get - Just post a report with the word in it. Perhaps you want to remove reports from consideration.

That’s going to be no easier or harder than any other kind of post or comment. This is intended to be an objective which is easy enough for a solo person to score at least a few points over time when in a low activity team, though it doesn’t have the potential to rack up points quickly like some of the others.
