don't you just love the english language?! like, if i had written, free Rice! you may have thought it was a protest to free me from some form of undue bondage...or it could be taken that there is rice...for free! or another slight punctuation change...free rice? i love it...same two words...so much ambiguity. in this case though...it is rice...for free...and free for those who really need it. angela tipped me off about this beauty of a site that hastens to encourage two forms of self-improvement...they encourage the importance of words and education, and the importance of charity and giving. this site "free rice" asks you to play a game. a word game. (could this be more up my alley?) and it scores you on your vocab level as you go. for every correct word match you acheive, 20 grains of rice is donated by the united nations to countries in need of it! love love. only problem is...i can't stop giving! im addicted. in fact im so in like with it, im adding this as a permanent feature on my side bar! oh and ps im calling you all out...i have reached vocab level 40...apparently there are 50 in total...i think that hot rod would likely beat me, but i challenge you all to give me a run at it...i'm really quite wordy if i do say so myself ;)
