4120, 47 look ups, United Nations World Food Program Website Free Rice Vocabulary Test Level 5th

  1. Free Rice was created by Josh Breen in 2007.
  2. I have been using it since 2010-2011.
  3. It puzzles you by using primary, secondary or tertiary connotations at times.
  4. I invited James Harbeck of Sesquiotica fame to try the test out, the event created a ceiling in old frame which I myself cracked many times over. [ 0 errors until you score 1000 and 16 errors at max before you reach 2060. ]
  5. James Harbeck is a linguist and weblogger at Sesquiotica who is in the  great list of literati created by Peter Schmies, which was maintained by Darryl Miyaguchi up until 2000 or 2001.
  6. The Peter Schmies Word Classification Test used to accompany another detailed test which is now dysfunctional.
  7. Similarly, United Nations World Food Program Website Free Rice which claimed to support cause of alleviating World Hunger; to which I devoted a great amount of time and energy is bugged or they changed the test format.
  8. In either case: they don’t respond back to emails.
  9. James Harbeck, Peter Schmies or James Grimes might still respond to your emails if they promote their business as well.
  10. I once did a guest post for James Harbeck’s Weblog Sesquiotica: it’s the only post with “Freshly Pressed” status.
  11. No such thing as apartheid on WordPress.
  12. Yes, Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words or Language Log still exist as functional websites but I seldom get time to explore them because I devote all my free time to develop my personal AI assistant with help of Replika platform.
  13. Yes, WordPress websites are three times as costlier as they used to be just a decade ago. Inflation. This website hardly uses any images at all these days and I am chopping off old branches or leaves one after another.
  14. For example: the latest WordPress weblog where I hardly have any followers has only capacity for about one fifty articles if I also post images.
  15. A decade ago such websites let you publish about a thousand articles before you moved on.
  16. How so very organised. Another website soon popping up on Blogger.

World Wide Words!

What’s something most people don’t understand?

  1. If you can score more than 2060 on level 5th and 4th of UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test: consider your vocabulary size to be decent compared to Mensa members.
  2. If you can easily score cent-percent on Peter Schmies Word Classification Test: you’re as smart as Frederick Berchtold when he was fourteen years old or Joy Rajiv when he was twenty three or James Harbeck when he was, well, whatever age he was in 1997-1998. Or you might be as smart as I am in 2025.
  3. If you know all the words in Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words or in the glossary of Sesquiotica: you might be in the league of extraordinary gentlemen like Language Log authors.
  4. Most people don’t understand most of the words they use or see in their everyday lives, of course, including me.
  5. Most people don’t understand that there’s nothing to understand.
  6. Why not I, me and myself.
  7. Traction.
  8. How do I convince myself of relative rarity of words or currency?

Persnickety, Pernickety

I first came across this word in Peter Schmies Word Classification Test. You’re supposed to tell if Persnickety is synonymous with finicky or antonyms or completely unrelated.

Here James Harbeck, who originally appeared at number eleventh in Peter Schmies Word Classification Test rankings gives a great treatment to Persnickety though he didn’t mention finicky even once in this entire article. I took help from Replika platform level 368 on some words to interpret this article. These words are :

  1. Snick
  2. Torquemada
  3. Friar
  4. Concupiscence
  5. Absquatulate related to Scram
  6. Down in the nick with old Nick until he became:
  7. Saint Nicholas
  8. Saint Lawrence is patron saint of comedians, cooks and…..
  9. Numpty reminds me of Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
  10. Parting note: if you , editors association of Canada or anyone else is in contact with United Nations World Food Program Website Free Rice Vocabulary Test support team, please let them know that website is bugged and dysfunctional in the sense that levels don’t change on their own. You’re supposed to manually reset the levels.
  11. I might also have read its etymology in Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words without any corroboration for the same. Hope you will visit Sesquiotica and enjoy James’ defence of editorial midwives.
  12. https://sesquiotic.com/
  13. The link above takes you to the article mentioned because jetpack app somehow fails in the process of reblogging as it does in many others.

Hagen- Poiseuille Laminar Flow Hypothesis!

1. Georges Pouillet’s student Jean-Léonard Marie Poiseuille was a French physiologist, and the unit of measurement “poise” in fluid dynamics is named after him.

Pending an acquisition of a lifetime!

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

  1. Pending an acquisition of a lifetime.
  2. The quote above is from Paul who used to take care of bug fixes for the Couch Discussion Forum.
  3. The root Krum results in Hindi word Kram which translates to English word order, as in, ascending or descending order.
  4. To scend is to rise on a wave. Maybe a word for surfers. I came across this word while trying to archive words on level 4th and 5th of UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test site.
  5. A Test Ceiling in Psychometrics: 2060 score without committing more than 16 errors. Another : 0 errors until level 100.
  6. Site is bugged for me. Manually reset the levels after a few answers.
  7. Archive words at level 4th or 5th.
  8. Look them up in Merriam Webster or Collins.
  9. Refer to Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words.
  10. You’re done. You have mastered the test and championed the cause for feeding many people in developing nations.
  11. There are other tests similar to this one: for example: Peter Schmies Word Classification Test which I cleared recently.
  12. Similar techniques: words are inherently devoid of meaning. They’re what guilds of lexicographers suggest them to be.
  13. Similar to laws. For example: most of the people don’t wear helmets . Not wearing helmets is a norm.
  14. Does this imply that wearing helmets is lawlessness?
  15. No.
  16. The word ‘sentence’ suggests that your autobiography is going to be used as a testament. To judge others. It’s not fiction.
  17. Intestate is another word. What does coda mean?
  18. Cesern is long haired. Tohu is the verse form I invented. It’s similar to Supercallifragilisticexpliallidocious even though the sound of it is even more atrocious.
  19. Amphiprostyle is column based structure.
