Save the World with your Vocabulary!

By Jess Mehr, Nonfiction Editor

So my friend Matt put me on to http://www.freerice.com and I dig it. It's a vocabulary quiz that uses its advertising cash to buy 10 grains of rice for starving nations for each word you correctly define. Basically it's targeted squarely at educated twenty-somethings who have a vague sense of liberal guilt and don't mind showing off their erudition.

It's really worth to have a glance at the information provided in your website regarding vocabulary quiz. It's a good sign that vocabulary is also saving many starving nations across the world by conducting various quiz competitions.
