My word of the day: Crenel / Crenellated
#14
Once upon a time, I taught a workshop (for young gifted kids) where we studied castles and medieval life. I found out that their dictionary skills were weak, so made lists of words from our study (crenellation, garderobe, barbican, lancet, and murder hole) to look up. Whomever found the word first got a jellybean. The kids had superb dictionary-usage skills in a few weeks. Probably some had dental cavities too...
