Adopted!!!

Ok, Now before you jump into conclusions, I have adopted a word. Yea, you heard it right, a word, you know a collection of letters... :-) http://www.savethewords.org/ is an effort by Oxford dictionaries to save words that are facing extinction.



All you need to do is to adopt a word and use it in everyday language. Now how difficult is that? I for my part, have adopted one word, thereby venustating (making something / someone handsome or beautiful) the English language. Now here is my certificate from Oxford Dictionaries.
