“I just wanted to thank you for the daily Word to the Wise section. I have a very large reading vocabulary, which means that although there are numerous words which I more or less understand and can use in context, I am often unsure of pronunciation or exact definition. It is nice to have this reference to provide additional clarity and confidence.”
