Free rice
 

For all of you ambitious souls, check how good your English is and donate some rice at the same time: http://www.freerice.com/index.php
I dont know if it actually donates any rice -if so, even better but you sure can check if you know some not-so-basic English vocab :)
I managed to donate 200 rice grains so far :)

hmmm some of those words are really hard !!!

didn't know "rebuttal" but logically it should mean something like "shove it up your ass" ;) re-butt-al(l)

kiwigirl, or more like 'shav it back up your ass' since the 're' prefix :)
See, I dont know most of these words its more like practicing getting to their stems and trying to figure out what they could possibly mean :)

I gained kilo of rice :D

highest level 15, unfortunatelly also dropped down to 8 :oops:

Kilo? How many grains is that? My highest level was 40, dropped to 30 odd, but only managed 200 grains :)

i had VOCAB LEVEL: 11
YOUR BEST LEVEL: 22
and my donation
total was 500 grains of rice.

got no time i will try some other time

have enough! 420 grams of rice. Can it go forewer like this or is there some limit?

I have gained 4kg. Don't ask about levels. I will tell u that I started with 30, but I dropped a little bit, lol

Yo girls, how do you convert those grains into kgs? or is it 4000 grains? Im confused :-s

4000 grins that 4 kg I guess...

but am not sure

yyyyy there was 1000 ... I thought grams not grains... :oops: my first few words were at level 15, ten every time that got a word wrong it dropped my down to 11 or 10... and every time I managed to "climbe up' again it gave me hard word that dropped me down again... dropping was quick, not even by one level but 3-4 at the time... while when climbing up I was getting 3-5 words before it "rised me" a level... strange, as it's totally different to what they say the rules are...

That's unfair...

I donated another "kilo" of rice today, watching the levels carefully. I start from nothing - just a line. after first or second word 15 appears as a level, and then every wrong answer takes me one leve down. but "climbing up" is strange. as first and often neither second good one doesn't give me anything (levelwise) only then I start "going up' again, but it's not a level with each guessed word, its a level every two, three good ones... but of course one wrong one can distroy it all, brings me back a level and "keeps me" there for a few good answers... no iea howit works... :dontknow:

sorry, but some are stupid :
snobby = elitist
... no comments, or is it so often and obvious that can be treated as a rule ?
