I got this in an email forward today, and while many email forawrds are annoying, I thought I'd share this one. The words on their quiz were quite challenging, I certainly couldn't have defined them all, although I got a lot right by informed guessing based on word roots and process of elimination... yay for intuition and semantic memory!

"If you haven't seen this site yet, take a look. www.freerice.com has a fun vocabulary quiz - for every correct answer 10 grains of rice is donated to hungry people around the world. 10 grains isn't much, but they are already up to 212 million grains a day since it started Oct. 7. Spread the word!"
