Words & Wordplay - October 2006

It goes like this: I am looking for, say, the definition of the word recapitulate. I need a website that, not only provides a definition of the word, but also uses it in a sentence. Can anyone help me find such a useful website?

The British swear word "bollocks" is generally found to be quite offensive in the U.K. One would only use it in very close company. The word is not very familiar to many Americans, but of those of you who do know it, how offensive would you find it?
Wikipedia has a fairly extensive article on the word, comparing it to the American "bullshit", but makes no mention of how offensive it is supposed to be.
Sensible replies only.

Dictionary definitions of the word "whore" seem to run along the following line:

A Prostitute, a promiscuous person or a person considered to have compromised principles for personal gain.

If the above definitions hold true, what would you call a woman who has killed for an Armani or to gain personal benefits or advantages, even if she has not offered herself sexually for such purposes?

How much does the element of choice versus force enter into these definitions?

What do you think of the people who have intentionally cut off the options of some women, forcing them into the streets to stay alive?

Please respond with civilized answers and not head butts.

The sentence I have is as follows:
Because of (Company Name)'s work in natural gas and it’s ever vigilant business practices in maintaining the highest level of safety as well as adhering to the strict environmental codes; Fortuna is a company that I would love to work for and be proud of what I do.

Is this sentence grammatically correct?

there is no point to the letter c. The letters s and k can do the exact same things. There's just no point to it. Can someone give me one good reason to why we need it in the alphabet?
