Bloggers UniteHow’s your spelling /vocabulary? At the weekend I was directed to a website that I enjoyed immensely…by testing your vocabulary - and it’s not easy. [freerice.com] It starts off easy-ish and gradually finds your level by progressively getting harder/easier if you get three in a row right or dropping a level or so each time you fail...and all the while you are providing rice to hungry people for free (endorsed by the United Nation World Food program: WFP) I provided 1000 grains and will return to do some more soon enough; I was level 42 and 43 (I think the range is from somewhere very low up to 50) I’ve added an image link to the Owsblog sidebar to encourage others to use it.

This could be construed as one of my "Acts of Kindness", as trumpeted on blogcatalog and also on YouTube although the actual 'official' day was yesterday (17-12-07)
