Big Words

Sunday, November 9th, 2008 | Apple, Random | No Comments

Ever stuck in the middle of a sentence and not sure what word to use? If you’re anything like me you probably haven’t done an english degree or swallowed an dictionary recently, thinking about the right words to use in sentences doesn’t always come naturally.

The problems don’t stop there as reading tech/design/marketing blogs and magazines do not improve your vocabulary either.

So as nerdy as it sounds I’ve gone back to using a tried and tested method of expanding my vocabulary, good old “word of the day”.

Merriam-Webster have a good word of the day page on their website and if you’re using a Mac running Leopard you can use Safari to create a web-clip and dashboard widget.
