Thanks and Giving
What is the longest word in the English language?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Running at 45 letters, and meaning 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs,' this is a really long word (no kidding). So, the question is, what can you do with a word like this?
You can upgrade your bio research paper from a B to a A. Or, you can impress your friends and/or crush with your sophisticated language. Or...you could donate 10 grains of rice to feed a hungry person.
I personally think the last one sounds like the best choice. At the bottom of the blog, you will now find a banner for FreeRice, which is a website through the World Food Programme that, through the support of donors and people who play, feeds hungry people rice every day. I have signed this blog up as a Blog Against Hunger, and support FreeRice by encouraging you all to play. FreeRice will not only make you smarter, but it feeds little kids too. You can do everything from English to Geo to Spanish to Chem(I used it for Chem!).
Now, don't worry, I don't, at this moment, plan to start having a bunch of a annoying, moving ads around here. But this one, its different. I'm not getting any money. I'm not even getting rice.
But...please, help a five-year old in Haiti have some dinner. Trust me, learning has never been this fun.
