Don't Be A Wallydraigle!

One of my favorite ways to start the day is to check my morning email from the people at the Oxford English Dictionary to see what they've selected as the word of the day. But this is much more than just a definition. When you click on the word, you can see where it has appeared in various writings throughout the centuries. But even that is not my favorite part. What I enjoy the most is clicking on the audio and hearing the words pronounced with both British and American accents. Sometimes, if you're really lucky, they'll throw in a Scottish pronunciation.
