I have been getting the Merriam-Webster Word of the Day for almost two years. There have been some ridiculous words, and some awesome words. I discovered my favorite word of all time using word of the day, but I have also received some e-mails containing words that I don't believe are valid vocabulary builders. (Favorite word = puckish adj. - impish, whimsical. Words that I think could have been skipped are, lollygag, yokel, zany, and wisenheimer) Imagine my dismay when I come across the email from MERRIAM-WEBSTER that contains a word, and then the pronunciation of a totally different word! I love the irony in the two words that are included. I would also like to point out that when I did a spell-check of this document, lollygag, and wisenheimer went unrecognized as words. Total. Dictionary. FAIL.
