No surprise, I loved today's A Word a Day: pinion.

"In the beginning, to bird was to catch a bird.

It took us some 350 years to realize that we can watch from a distance instead.

The first citation of the verb bird meaning to watch birds is from 1917."

A word a day keeps ignorance away. the phenomenon of not recognizing the return of an old memory as a product of memory, but instead regarding it as a new or original thought or idea.

Cute new tool. Not perfect, as it may give disjoint results, but a great idea and lots of fun to play with.
