I work from home as a part-time freelance writer. Most of my daily conversations take place with my 3-year-old, who often reverts to baby talk when she doesn't want to do what I say and begs to watch, as she puts it, "lots of Peppa Pigs." So you may understand why I don't always feel quite as sharp as I used to. I recently decided to brush up my vocabulary as a result, thinking it may at least fool me into feeling a little smarter.
I signed up for
A.Word.A.Day on
Wordsmith.org. Every morning a new word with its definition and usage is e-mailed to me. They've included colophon, frangible and expurgate. I haven't known one yet. Feeling smarter already. And now back to Peppa Pig.
P.S. Messy hair, don't care.
