    seriously, this thing is crack, I can't stay above 37 though... 38's as high as i've got. I tend to float around 32 / 33

    I cheated and used dictionary.com for a lot of the words. I figure it's worth it to help feed the children. They kinda cheat though, using words that refer to tools or are particular to a specific geographic region.

    I'm around 35/36, but I hit 39 a couple of times. I seriously need to go do homework, though.

    Cheating to help children? SHAME ON YOU!

    So, 1000 grains is one meal right?

    I had a good early streak and kept it at 41 for awhile, but then I dropped down to 35.

    AS much as I like helping people, I have some griping to do. Instead of saying "X means ____", they need to say "X is most closely related to ____". Whatever, I got to 1200 grains and ended with a 34. I got up to 37, but then had a string of, questionable, mismatches.

    I did it for a bit and hung around about 36. I need to do this when I can focus though. I kept missed a lot of them that I shouldn't have. I also agree with Behemoth.

    It should be noted that you should probably disable adblock on that site, otherwise you're just leeching vocabularies.

    I've always wondered, is there any way for a website to know when you're blocking their ads? I use Ad-block plus on Firefox and I was still seeing all of the small ads on the bottom of the screen, though it blocks almost any advertisement I don't want. It's like it's psychic. Or I actually did the set-up and just forgot about it.

    Well, it depends what blocking lists you have active in adblock too.

    I don't think there's a way to specifically see if you're using adblock, which is why some of those websites have been popping up that block firefox altogether.

    I cannot stop doing this.

    but I have, I got my vocab level up to 37, and donate 600 grains of rice.

    I should do this everyday or something.
