Build your Vocabulary at FreeRice.com
Here's a nifty site that allows you to build up your vocabulary and donate rice to the world's needy at the same time: FreeRice.com
For each word you get right, ten grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food Program. That may not seem like a lot - until you see how much has been donated so far. Would you believe 537,163,380 grains of rice as of this posting?
The vocabulary quiz is really fun, too - hard SAT-level words that really challenge your level of knowledge. Check it out, insha'Allah - but I have to warn you that it is hard to leave the site if you love words.

Word of the Day: Abstemious
Just thought I'd make note of today's "Word of the Day" listed on the right-hand column of this blog:
Abstemious: Abstaining from wine
Seems like this word could come in handy some day. Anyone know how to use it in a sentence?
