It's Official

I fear I've been rather haphazard in my use of the word "official" of late. In fact, this fear was confirmed this evening at dinner when, upon hearing my somewhat questionable use of the word, my husband replied, "I don't think you exactly understand how to use that word. I've noticed you've misused it quite a bit over the last few days. Perhaps you should go find a dictionary or a thesaurus and go make up a few practice sentences and then report back."
