As a starter: and as a former teacher in English, I hope to add to reader's vocabulary by presenting a word a day in simple terms that anyone can understand - from current use in publications, radio,TV, etc.
Remember: use a new word three times in a day and it's yours forever!

Example: "A Napa Valley report states that, in lieu of stealing expensive wines from wineries, "panel thieves" now are running off with solar panels from the vineyards by the thousands."
