A student in the school where I teach told us about a terrific website that is providing free rice to fight world hunger while helping people increase their English vocabulary. This is completely legitimate, requires no login or any other form of identification, and provides a challenging and fun way to increase one's knowledge of words. As poets and lovers of the English language, I think most emulers here will enjoy this site while they help to ease the suffering of people here in the US, and around the world.

What a good idea - and such fun!

This was fun. I did pretty well until I got to "lobscouse" and "oppugn".

Bump. People are hungrier than ever.

Great fun until you get into the fifties: "I need to go back to school..."
