i am constantly looking up words online. sometimes just to check the spelling, but often just to make sure the word i’m using in a blog post or email actually means what i think it means. it’s also fun to look up uncommon words other people use that you’ve heard before, and have a sense of, but aren’t familar with the actually definition. here are some words i’ve looked up for various reasons lately:

screed
coalesce
scavenge
preternatural

so i wish there was an automatic way that the words i look up could get posted to my blog in a sidebar that showed the last five or so, with links to their definitions on merriam webster.
