Quick note this morning. About 2 years or so ago I signed for
dictionary.com's
word of the day
email. Cool I thought at the time, I like words and I like it
when words are emailed to me... and I like it even more when those
words are explained or "defined". All kidding aside, I enjoyed
this little feature because expanding one's vocabulary is never a bad
thing.
Back to my dilemma: I'm not quite sure when, but one day I stopped
receiving the word of the day email. At the time, I figured that
they didn't have enough people or that they just discontinued it for
bandwidths sake. Never-the-less, it stopped. So yesterday I
get the strange email that I haven't seen in years -word of the
day. Huh, imagine that.
Now I'm left pondering, why am I getting these emails again? Did
they actually have a bug in their code that made them think they were
sending thousands of emails a day but actually none were getting
out? Or did they get enough subscribers again to warrant starting
it up again?
Who knows and who cares, I enjoy receiving them.
Todays word:
bruit \BROOT\, transitive verb:
To report; to noise abroad.
