Michelle,
I am glad that you posted the meaning of the word of the day because I had no idea what it meant.

Thank you for that site as I am always looking for easy ways to expand my vocabulary. I also had no clue what the definition for that word was.
Michelle,
I learn something new everyday. The one thing I don't know is, how to say this word :)
How do we say this word? Do they teach you how to pronounce it? I signed up for it too, so I guess I will soon find out :)
I like to put a word of the day, a math problem, or an interesting science fact on the board for my classes every day. A site like this makes it easy to do. Thanks for sharing it!
