Word of the Day
omnipresentHere, There, and Everywhere Word of the Day:This adjective handily combines the meanings of its parts omni-, "all," and present to mean "present everywhere at once." Nouns denoting inanimate things normally follow omnipresent (smell, threat, cameras), though if you're a deity and therefore capable of being everywhere at once, you're entitled to carry around this adjective as an attribute.
