Catalectic used in a sentence
Catalectic in a sentence as a noun
Someone stole the catalectic converter off my 2008 Prius last week, a part whose street value is only worth ~$100 and that requires equipment and professional-level skill to steal, likely by someone whose day job generates $70-90/hr. Gotta be pretty damn desperate to risk a felony for a little over an hour's wages, especially when that theft requires actual work.
