You should totally check it out. It's whereeverytime you select the correct definition for a vocab word you get 20 grains of rice donated to the U.N....I'm ot exactly sure how it works, but it has quite a bit of media coverage and there are a lot of advertisements to pay for it, so it seems pretty reliable. And it's totally worth checking out.

It's fun; visit http://www.freerice.com. You're presented with a word and three possible synonyms. Choose the right one, and you're donating some rice. It's fun, especially when I get words right that I'd never heard before. It helps to know your Greek and Latin root words.
