   I don’t need to mention that I get the word of the day emails too, so I won’t.

   THS, a while back I had considered requiring myself to use the WotD at least once a day in my blog and see how long it was until someone called me on it.
   Then I realized I’d just look foolish. Or foolisher, if you may.
