Vocab quiz

This was a fun way to donate grains of rice to hungry people.

It kind of seems like it is insignificant, 10 grains of rice, but if a sack of rice is donated after 'playing' this long enough it starts to seem less futile.

And it is fun to see the status of your vernacular.<-- Booya! one of the easier words I got right.
I am apparently a 40 vocab skill... person. I don't know how arbitrary that number is. That is just what I hovered at on their site.

So, sometimes I would start, get 4 right and they would put me at 30, then sometimes 10, and sometimes 40. I didn't quite get that part. (OK, they may have started me at 10 when I said arbitrary meant penguin.)
I gave away a lot of free rice...

PENGUIN!!

But yes, my number floats between like 37 and 42, so 40's probably a good number : D (At least, I hope.) One time, one of the words was Paladin. I lol'd.

Arbitrary is a bird area in a zoo, silly. Penguin is close though, being a bird. Silly.

I helped donate over 3500 grains of rice. I would tell you what my score was but I don't want to seem too precocious or magniloquent with my prodigious lexicon. Thank you fellow pundit expavesco for posting this game. I thought the game would end when you missed one, it did not. I played until I was bored and missed five and learned five new words to add to my vernacular. While being very erudite in vocabulary I am not in computers and have flubbed my previous attempt at posting a comment.
