SAVE THE WORDS

This is one of the greatest sites I saw this year- called "Save the Words". It lets individuals or your class select a word that is about to become extinct in English, "adopt" it, and pledge to use it more often so it doesn't become extinct.
Give it a try! The little words even yell "pick me! pick me!" when you hold your mouse over them.
