National Learn a Word Day

Today is a day to learn a word, which is the "smallest element that can be uttered in isolation with objective or practical meaning." Words can be in spoken or written form. It is unclear when or why this day started, but it probably exists because it is Noah Webster's birthday, and happens to be National Dictionary Day as well.

How to Observe National Learn a Word Day
