Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is the gold standard of word calendars. For students, writers, readers, crossword buffs, and all lovers of language, it's the pleasure of learning a new word every day from the editors at Merriam-Webster, the world's most respected dictionary. Discover literary words (Aesopian: conveying an innocent meaning to an outsider but a hidden meaning to a member of a conspiracy or underground movement), words that are too much fun not to use (slugabed: a person who stays in bed after the usual or proper time to get up), and more. Each entry includes a definition, pronunciation, sample sentence, and detailed word history.

4.0 out of 5 stars great gift idea, December 5, 2008
By Emily "Long Islander" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
Every year I would pick out a different page a day for my dad. He loves word jumbles, crosswords and such. This calendar he now requests every year. Some days he brings the pages home to share with others. A great gift for the intellectual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daily Word Calendar, April 11, 2009
Product is nice. Has interesting words and information regarding those words, but it is difficult to know the proper pronunciation.
