Word of the day

About a week ago I saw that Thesaurus.com is having a word of the day challenge. It started at the beginning of the year (so i'm a bit late getting into it) but basically what it is is a challenge for yourself to see if you can learn 365 new words, a new word every day. I thought this sounded interesting and also very helpful. I thought it would be a very good way to boost my vocabulary, which is good for writing and a good way to make you sound smarter in every day conversations.

I decided to try out the challenge, I started writing down the words and definitions and putting them on the walls of my closet so i could look at them when I was getting dressed or something, a good way to study. That didn't last long though, my laziness shone through and now I am writing the words and definitions in my phone and saving them for a time i feel motivated to post them on the wall. The first word I learned was agnize (v); To acknowledge, recognize or own. I am proud to say that I didn't even have to look at my wall to check the definition. I definitely encourage others to try the challenge and learn a new word every day and see how much their vocabulary increases by the end of the year.
