I've been there & tried it. The first few words got my confidence up
before my apparent illiteracy was sadly revealed.

I also subscribe to A.Word.A.Day (http://wordsmith.org/awad/
subscribe.html). It's a fun (& free) daily word with derivations &
examples, not that my results on FreeRice are any testament.
Interesting, and easily worth the price, though.

Okay - I'll bite. What does "derivations" mean?

Dem dare words is hard. I done ok for a while and my ears started
smoking. Now if they were to do a Jeff Foxworthy vocabulary, they
might get a hella more grains of rice!

Its ok... they could do the Becktionary for the liberals.

Although I'm not picking sides, or revealing my political preference,
both would be pretty nifty.

I only got to level 40. Not surprising when you consider my first
thought when I read the title of the post was that Condy was being
held hostage somewhere, and Wolfganf was trying to rescue her.

Yeah, I can envision that happening.....but then, I've always had an unruly

The other test for which folks often publish their scores is
www.politicalcompass.org. It'll be no surprise to anyone that I'm
pretty well to the left on that one.
