And learn something at the same time!

Go to FreeRice. There's a vocabulary game - for each word you get right, 10 grains of rice will be donated to United Nations food programs. If you go every day, you can improve your vocabulary, and help feed hungry people around the world.
 
Rice is nice.Candy is dandy.(Liquor is quicker.)
 
Just donated 300 grains!

And my vocabulary level is a 39....wonder how high it can go?
 
I donated 500.

My vocabulary level is 37.....becky is smarter than me!

Okay, gotta go get ready for tonight's show.

The FAQ on the site says that it goes to 50, but very, very few people get higher than 48. I'm at 3230 grains right now, and level 41.
 
I'm at 40 and can't seem to get past it. So is Free a sister to Condoleezza?
 
OK, I had to try this - Greg posted in on the other forum and I didn't check it. I'm at level 42 but only 170 grains and need to get back to work...

I'm actually amazed how words I haven't seen in a couple decades are still somewhere in my head...

But if someone can tell me what the heck gemsbok or oryx is, it would be appreciated!!!!! :confused:
 
270 grains of rice and level 41
 
Lots of words there in common, everyday use. :rolleyes:Well, at Mirriam-Webster, maybe.

hmmm... I knew a lot of them from reading Terry Pratchett. Because of that, I have a feeling the site is based in England and therefore includes more British English words.
 
Well, that would make sense. At least half the population of the United States finds the UN to be just a notch above useless.Besides, they drive on the wrong side of the road.
 
I got most of mine right not because I knew the exact word but a portion of it...break the word down and with multiple-choice you usually can find the right answer.

I would agree the UN is useless...

Now the UK...never been there yet...
 
I am going to go play one more time - and then I am off here for the rest of the day!!!
I'm playing around, when I have work to do.....I have a show tonight, and I JUST took a shower....and I have 2 host packets to deliver today. My show schedule it starting to get to me! 6 more shows before Thanksgiving, 6 shows after Thanksgiving......and then I am done for a month!
 
I've gotten up to level 41 and then I usually realize it and my mind goes blank on the very next word... doh!
 
There were a few for which I had to make educated guesses. Etymology comes in handy.

The archaic words don't help any. "Forsooth" actually came up in my list. Just because I've seen it used in fantasy novels, doesn't mean it was used correctly. :)
 
I just used that word the other day at the dental school! I asked them, "How thoon can I come back forthooth replathement?"
