Favourite Word

Indefatigable.

I was first introduced to this word while reading a book on famous Frigate engagements. The particular chapter was on Sir Edward Pellew who captained several vessels including one named Indefatigable. If I remember correctly the Indefatigable and a fellow English frigate finessed a French Ship of the Line into landlocking itself. Usually battles between Frigates and Ships of the Line were not faught, the two primary reasons being: 1) A Frigate was never expected to be able to compete with a Ship of the Line, so attacking one was pointless, 2) There was little to be gained by having a Ship of the Line attack a frigate, but there certainly was a lot to lose.

Anyway, I just really like that word.
