pruning the great tree of global poverty, one five-syllable word at a time

If you'd like to tackle world hunger and expand your vocabulary, FreeRice is the website to visit. The site tests (and amplifies) your syntax skills by a series of vocab quizzes which grow progressively more difficult as the levels progress. As if this gloriously well-designed vocabulary expander isn't enough, the site promises to donate 20 grains of rice to the U.N World Food Programme for each correct answer! So, for every new word that you learn, you're helping to hew the oppression of poverty by donating rice to those in need. Check it out!
