Hey Cougars! Think you've got what it takes to square off against this week's word of the week? Well - here's the challenge: write a sentence using the word VALIDITY, meaning - the quality of being logical or factual. Here's an example: During the political debate, the candidate questioned the validity of his opponent's argument by pointing out a fault in his logic. If you accept this challenge, write your own sentence using the word of the week and submit it - either electronically, or to the box in the front office.
