Hi Neha, this is a very nice idea. Can we also add an example (or two) of the word of the day.

rightly said kidakaka. Words dont help much unless one isnt very sure of its usage.

my word for the day is:-

DOCKET
meaning:A list of things to be done.
Usage: Since everyone wanted to discuss healthcare, we put it on the docket for the next town meeting.
Synonym: schedule
