Word of the Day for Thursday February 28, 2002:

ineluctable \in-ih-LUCK-tuh-buhl\, adjective:
Impossible to avoid or evade; inevitable.

... ineluctable as gravity.
--Marilynne Robinson, [1]The Death of Adam

California's vision of itself as a car culture grew out of
the impracticality of mass transit in reaching most of its
scenic wonders, the innate restlessness of its inhabitants
and the ineluctable attraction of an open road.
--"From the Land of Private Freeways Comes Car Culture
Shock," [2]New York Times, October 16, 1997

Linnaeus' classification scheme became popular not because
it captured some ineluctable truth about nature. Rather, by
the botanist's own admission, the system divided species
based more on intuition than science, much as an art
historian might group paintings into schools.
--"Cultivating a New Tree," [3]Los Angeles Times, September
25, 1999
