Dear subscribers,
Yesterday was June 10th, a day where many of us pause to remember, and silently protest, the fateful events that took place on that same day, 12 years ago. In observance of this, we did not send out an LTOTD yesterday. Let us never forget that The Sopranos series finale was completely unacceptable.
Denounce. An act or thing is “denounced” when the law declares it a crime and prescribes a punishment for it. State v. De Hart, 109 La. 570, 33 South. 605. The wordis also used (not technically but popularly) as the equivalent of “accuse” or “inform against.”
"Black's Law Dictionary, 2nd edition" by Bryan A. Garner
E.g. "Yo bro, I totally denounce the actions of The Sopranos show writers. That series finale was completely unacceptable!"

Dear subscribers,
Firstly, we would like to apologize for the atrocious mistake in yesterday's LTOTD. As many of you pointed out, the usage example said:
- E.g. "Yo bro, I'm totally not surprised you got fired from LTOTD, they have a zero-tolerance policy for mistake!"
When it clearly should have said:
- E.g. "Yo bro, I'm totally not surprised you got fired from LTOTD, they have a zero-tolerance policy for mistakes!"
Please rest assured that the individual responsible has been fired. As this is the third time this individual has been fired, the decision was made to extend their new-hire probationary period by an additional three months when they were re-hired again earlier today. Their performance will be monitored closely during the ongoing re-org.
Secondly, we are proud to announce that we have come up with a solution to the tagline contest results! Since it was a tie, we will split it right down the middle. On even days the following tagline will be displayed:
- Yo bro, we’re like your favorite legal dictionary but cooler! 😎︎︎
and on odd days we will display:
- Where the terms are legal, and delivered daily
As part of the aforementioned individual's punishment, they will be required to change the tagline every day at midnight! We hope this is a solution that all of our subscribers are happy with and that it gives you all a sense of justice for yesterday's atrocious error.
Sincerely, the LTOTD team
E.g. "Yo bro, have you ever had shrimp scampi before? It's totally just shrimp and garlic in abutter sauce! My neighbor told me about it! "
