Word to the Wise: Sentient

"Sentient" (SEN-shunt) - from the Latin for "to feel" - means responsive to or conscious of sensory perceptions.

Example (as used by Clayton Makepeace today [June 24, 2008]): "We are NOT sentient, self-respecting, intelligent creatures. We only tell ourselves that we are."
