There are so many words in the English language. So much so that we don’t even know what some of them mean. We founded the School of Word Play to share words and definitions that we’ve never heard, but think that you would like to know. So follow along and expand your vocabulary with us!

      …and so NOW – you have been introduced to what THEY have to offer and we strongly urge you to sign up for their daily offerings. They will not drive you nuts – but they will expand ones’ knowledge of the words. It is the children who will benefit. Here is the link, which can be seen on the front page of Le Metropolis Café. Go ahead – CLICK on it now and spend some time at their wonderful site to see more examples of what they will bring TO you – and then sign up! ~ Ed.
