— Word of the Day
Daily Logolepsy.
In a world of business jargon, social slang and text speak, it’s easy to forget just how deeply expressive and beautiful the English language can be. Each day, our copywriters select a sadly neglected gem. One word. Absolutely free. Everyday. Drop these diamonds into conversation. Marvel at how you become infinitely more desirable to the opposite/same sex. Or your money back. You have our word.
