From The Students
“Before I found this site, I had been using flashcards. VocabSushi took this study system to a whole new level.”
— Maddie, 790 SAT Verbal

“My vocab level reflects my personal vocabulary, so words I already know don’t slow me down. Seeing the word used in real-life context along with its definition demonstrates the words are worth learning. It’s also just fun & easy to use.”
— George, AP English, favorite word is legerdemain

“VocabSushi replaced some very annoying vocab books in my school. I also enjoy learning at my own pace. There isn’t a set standard that each person must reach in an amount of time.”
— Gabe, 29 ACT English, favorite word is schadenfruede

The Power of Words: Google + Adds Ignore Button.

Recently Google + announced it would give users a polite way to get rid of bothersome people on the site. Using an ignore button, users can say “no thank you, not right now.”

This is in contrast to the much harsher and more serious “Block” feature, in which users will cut the other person off completely.

This is certainly an advancement on the social media front, as it adds to the dynamic nature of the Google + platform. Giving users a larger online ‘vocabulary’ could enhance online communication as a whole, giving users a larger social media vocabulary to work with.

So the question is: Will you use this new ‘Ignore’ feature? More importantly what kinds of behaviors/communication warrants an ‘ignore’ as opposed to a ‘Block’ ?

Today’s Awesomely Awesome Word:

Telos – |ˈteläs; ˈtē-|: An ultimate object or aim.

• telos of human life was known and identifiable; the problem was how to get there.

Vocabulary With a Scarlet Drawl

Few bands have achieved the lyrical madness of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. From Apache Rose Peacock to Californication, the Chili Peppers made it their mission to contort the minds of listeners with a medley of advanced grammar and invented terminology.

There are far too many Lyrics from the Chili Peppers for us to list them here. Why dont you tell us what you favorite lyrics are, or for that matter the most interesting/weird lyrics you have heard from the band.

They also have another album coming out in August, so be on the lookout for some new Chili Peppers terminology!
