…. wordsmith.org sends you a word-a-day, with definitions, derivations and excerpts of the word being used wittily in real life. And then you get to figure out how to slide supererogatory into a sentence. All nonchalantly-like.
…delanceyplace.com delivers a little quote or excerpt from some notable non-fiction text that you may or may not have gotten to in college. It’ll make you feel erudite. (Which you can look up on wordsmith.org if you’re wondering…)
… visualthesaurus.com offers a bunch of email subscriptions, on topics ranging from book reviews to teaching hints. Plus, if you pay an annual fee, you can play with the Visual Thesaurus (a sort of solar systemy map of synonyms, plus audio pronunciation and other fun bennies) to your heart’s content.
Idn’t it all just too much fun?
Oooh, fun. You don’t want me to work at all, do you? 🙂
I know. It’s ridiculous, the conspiracy to distract us from all things money-making….
