  •  Survey Results: 71+% prefer the blog, so that's what I'll do (my apologies for assuming otherwise).  50% could use another college essay, so I'll make a homework assignment in the future with essay option. 

  • exonerate (verb):  absolve (someone) from blame for a fault or wrongdoing, especially after due consideration of the case; acquit

Etymology: from Latin: from ex- "off" + onus "burden"

Example: Between you and me, I think a criminal was just exonerated: he had the most evidence among the runners linking him to the heinous jay-walking incident, yet he sauntered away without so much as a reprimand!

Now create your own sentence using the following:
  1. A semicolon or colon
  2. Exonerate
  3. A red word from our usage list
