Roger, I will try to reach level 47. The most probable is that I will end world hunger long before that. :) jhaga
Everybody wants to get admission in reputed institution, but it is not always possible. But other than reputed colleges there are many good colleges across India. Those colleges also play an important role in building up career. So we have come up with the site www.collegesearch.in which will help you not only search for the colleges but also build up your career.

First time I see a useful game: FreeRice http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7088447.stm[^] I am not a native english speaker so my "vocab level" that you see in the down right corner was only 18 when I had donated 1030 grains of rice. What's your score? http://www.freerice.com/index.php[^] jhaga

30, at 2230 grains of rice. Words started to repeat so if i had carried on, i probably would have got the ones i missed.
My current favourite word is: PIE! Good ol' pie, it's been a while.

gemsbok = oryx ruth = pity Damn this is arcane English AND South Afrikaans! (Bok is Dutch for Goat, hence SpringBo, jumping goat, and I assume GemsBok is some other variant of goat) Anywy, when the hell does it finish? I got to 1200 and I am bored as hell. Arrgh, thats enough, vocab level at 40 and 2150 grains of rice.

Many English words have their origins in other languages. Springbok is just a more recent addition. but you will find it in most English dictionaries. Jumping Gazelle just doesn't sound nice.

I got to 40 on 760 grains of rice. I'll try again tonight when I've finished some work. What I found interesting was the number of words whose meaning I could infer, based on their roots, or likely origins in other languages. I would never, ever have known a camelopard is a giraffe without knowing it is called a kameelperd in Afrikaans.

English is an entirely foreign language because even its base is Saxon, not Angelish.

SpringBokk is a foreign word. If it wasnt for the Dutch settlers, we WOULD have called it 'jumping goat'.
