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:
