Somebody help me - I'm addicted to FreeRice.com! Tomorrow I have to go back to work after a few days off, so some of the rest of you take over. C'mon, you can spare a few minutes to end world hunger, right?
It really is addictive, isn't it? I keep trying to get my "score" higher by getting more high-level words defined correctly. Watching the little mounds of rice pile up is fun, too.
The real question is: do you find yourself using more erudite terminology in conversation, as they claim you will? I'm going to try to use "eructation" when the next opportunity presents (and with three boys, opportunities frequently present!)
Most of the words I've learned aren't exactly the kind I can throw into everyday conversation. Lots of them seem to have to do with medieval armor, or illnesses. Good luck on using eructation - let me know how your boys react. :-)

ReplyDeleteOkay--I've just spent a few minutes donating 500 grains of rice. Back to work!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I can quit whenever I want. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAunt Pat, thanks for helping out the cause. :-)
