Repeat postings of something like this are still important - we can always use a reminder to help others

Now don't let's be crabby about this! Surely the more publicity this kind of initiative gets, the better?


I added several hundred grains earlier on, it's a great time-waster — then I was so hungry I had to go and have lunch!

Great Nov 24, 2007

Very nice, thank you. I could not stop, good way to learn new words - and I did not see the other postings so I am happy to have seen this one. Thanks again.

I just came across the free rice link on the Internet and thought "wow, this is great; I'll post in on ProZ!"

Now I see the thread already exists. But as there weren't any entries during the last months I wrote this one. I think now the topic will be listed again among recent posts and people who haven't seen it yet might find it.
