AWAD/AJAD

No, I have not gone mad (not yet) and I am not writing nonsense!

AWAD stands for “A Word A Day”.

Its a great way to improve your vocabulary.

Today’s word is : sesquipedality

PRONUNCIATION:

(ses-kwi-pi-DAL-i-tee) 

MEANING:

noun: The practice of using long words. 

A word a day was started by Anu Garg. Every week he sends five words which fall under a particular category. This week’s theme is : “What to avoid when using words”

At the end of the week, he sends a mail in which the readers comment on the theme or a particular word.

Along with the pronunciation and meaning, it also includes the etymology, notes and the usage of the word.

At the end of the mail, comes the “Thought for the Day”, for which, sometimes I wait more than the word itself 

Similarly, AJAD stands for “A Joke A Day”.

 Today’s Joke is : Computers can never replace humans. They may become capable of artificial intelligence, but they will never master real stupidity.  

And in the end come some very useful and handy tips, thoughts or words of knowledge.

Both these mails come to me in the evening and so I start my day in the office with them the next day. They bring smile on my face in the initial part of the day and I take care that the smile does not leave me for the rest of the day!

You can also submit your jokes in the website and become famous. 

I will strongly recommend both AWAD and AJAD to all.
