[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 119378, member: 1967"] That's a title for you. It sounds like something a beauty contestant would play. An English teacher friend shared this site with me. It helps improve your vocabulary and each correct word earns a donation of 20 grains of rice. Play the game at [URL="http://www.freerice.com"]www.freerice.com[/URL] The highest level I reached was 44. Here's what some newspapers said about freerice: 'What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? Well, at FreeRice it does . . . the totals have grown exponentially.' - The Washington Post 'Web game provides rice for hungry . . . FreeRice went online in early October and has now raised 1 billion grains of rice [by November 9].' - BBC News 'Addictive, yes. But . . . each correct answer results in the donation of rice to help feed the hungry around the globe. Perhaps that qualifies the game as a good addiction . . . one with redeeming qualities, something that's, oh, didactic and edifying.' - Kansas City Star 'People from all walks of life and from around the globe have written in to express their appreciation for the game . . . Secretaries admit to playing it during boring business meetings.' - Christian Science Monitor ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
