A good way to increase your vocabulary is to learn one new word a day. Bill Buckley’s Word of the Day is a quick test of your vocabulary. It’s also a good refresher course in case you’re familiar with the word but don’t know exactly what it means. (Thanks Jacob)
And thanks Dan
» Comment by Tammie on October 1, 2002 @ 6:24 pmI got today’s right, but only because it was multiple-choice. My vocab isn’t quite up to ‘fill in the blank’ at that level.
Also note dictionary.com’s word of the day. You don’t get a quiz, but you get a full definition with some fun etymological information.

» Comment by abrogaticus on October 3, 2002 @ 12:36 pmI used to get a word a day downloaded automatically. Can this still be accomplished?
» Comment by r seely on November 19, 2002 @ 5:05 amI’m not sure what you mean by that, but if you’re referring to getting it by email, you can use dictionary.com.
