Words & Wordplay - October 2006

It's a word without glamour. It doesn't catch the eye or tug the heart. A boring dreary chore. Yet is it, the most important word of all? Can nothing, from family ties to global warming, function, without it? What's your "most important word in the dictionary"?

The synonyms of the word "Sanction" means permit, approve or allow. While we actually use the word to convey restriction / penalty / ban etc. Any idea why ?

Source: North Korea said the new UN resolution imposing sanctions on the country was a "declaration of war" and warned it would strike back..(Funny, isnt it ?)

I work at a law office now for 3 years and I have never bothered to ask what the hell that means. I even took a keyboarding class and never knew what it meant... I'm a pretty smart guy but I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone personally. Can u clarify this for me, please? THANX.
