Vocabulary.com is a thing that exists

     Vocabulary.com is probably the best vocab site I've seen so far, but that really isn't saying very much. Using competition as a way to encourage people to actually study is a great idea, but I feel that it will also eventually result in people making fun of the person who did best that week. Also, this is the number one person on the site this month. And last month. And quite likely the month before. Competition stops being fun or interesting after a certain point and I am still trying to figure out how it is humanly possible to master that many words and have literally anything else to do ever. 
     As with basically everything that has ever existed in this universe, vocabulary.com has its pros and cons. It seems like a relatively useful learning tool, but it is definitely worth noting that while most of the definitions are well-written, a few of them would make more sense if they were written by a gerbil. Nothing about the site other than the competition factor is interesting. It feels like I'm just forcing myself to answer enough to get to the top. Then again, the only way to make vocabulary interesting is to give definitions in Samuel L. Jackson style.
