Improve your vocabulary and donate rice!

Help feed the hungry by playing a word game… Freerice.com’s vocabulary game donates 10 grains of rice for every answer you get correct. Since starting on 7 October 2007, it has since pledged 2.6 billion grains of rice. What that means in terms of weight, I’m not too sure. “How is this rice sponsored?” I hear you ask, according to their FAQ it is paid for by sponsors, and the rice will be distributed by the United Nations World Food Program. So.. just head on over there.. even if it’s all a scam (which I doubt it is), you’ll still learn a thing or two about your English vocabulary.
