    Let's make it vocab building game!

    There you go fellaz! 馃榿

    Instead of putting in any word, how about making it a vocab builder game?

    That means, post the difficult/not so common (now it may very for everyone) words and explain its meaning.

    ( then I'll move this thread to the GRE section 馃槈 )
