Sometimes I am dissatisfied with my vocabulary level and I think I'll do things like learn a new word everyday or read more books. Occasionally I would look up things online with webster and I decided it would be a great idea to get the word of the day email, I enjoyed it for a few months and then after awhile and lack of reading many of them I decided it was time to quit getting those daily emails. So I scrolled to the bottom where it will typically say to unsubscribe reply and say "unsubscribe". But do you know what it says at the bottom of websters: If you want to stop receiving these emails- then change your email address! What are they smoking? no way! So this is a WARNING: to anyone thinking they might want to learn some new words by receiving a simple word of the day email decide carefully if you want to check that email everyday because you could be receiving it FOORRREEEVER!

As I recall, Webster was an 8-year old black boy who was always irritatin' Mammy with his hare-brained antics. I'm therefore somewhat surprised that he could teach you words like 'succumbed'. (I hope that didn't sound racist.)
I'd suggest going with the read lots of books idea. I'm guessing 80% of the vocabulary I use comes from reading copious amounts as an adolescent. Plus, books are far more entertaining than automated email, provided they're the right books.
What happened to frittering, Aaron?
Uh frittering? I can't place any recent communiqués about frittering.
yeah, I really don't know what frittering is? Do most people? What should I read to better understand frittering?
Ronnie I think you were talking to Bonesaw, not Aaron/ Berkjenn
