Word of the Day for Sunday February 24, 2002:

loquacious \loh-KWAY-shuhs\, adjective:
1. Very talkative.
2. Full of excessive talk; wordy.

The meeting went on for hours, accommodating loquacious
bores who were each allowed their say.
--Andrew Sullivan, "Gay Life, Gay Death," [1]The New
Republic, December 17, 1990

In drawing a sharp contrast with the loquacious Ginsburg,
her new lawyers appeared for just a few moments and said
virtually nothing to reporters before retreating into the
building.
--Peter Baker, "Lewinsky Replaces Ginsburg," [2]Washington
Post, June 3, 1998
