Rhetoric Rooters Rejoice
Dalton Vanhooser - Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Twitter and dictionary.com have formed an unusual
bond, as dictionary.com has begun posting a new featured word every day. This is a great little addition to both
websites, allowing for advertising for both twitter and dictionary.com. The feature is great for copywriters looking
to exercise their vocabulary and expand it significantly.
From a trivial standpoint, the service allows one to learn words they may even find interesting or humorous, sharing it with friends, perhaps even having a good laugh. That may be taking it a bit too far, but it is a great little tool for strengthening one’s terminology. Although copywriters should rarely use heavy, confusing words in their copy unless called for, the opportunity to boast confounding jargon on a daily basis can be entertaining.
