Years ago a friend introduced me to word-of-the-day, a Merriam-Webster Online feature. In addition to building my vocabulary, receiving a new word among my e-mails each day teaches me the origin of the word which is always such an enlightening history lesson.  If you want to bring excitement to what you have to say or win at scrabble, get word-of-the-day!
