Here's something everyone can do to help feed the hungry.......and improve
their own vocabulary at the same time. God knows y'all need it! :)

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.

I got to 49 very rapidly. Online, context-sensitive dictionaries are great,
eh?
