A must read for Indians and talking horses.

I somehow wound up on a mailing list for a website called Word Genius. They send me an obscure word every morning and then define it. Sometimes, I just delete. Occasionally, I actually already know the word. If the word sounds vaguely familiar, or just plain interesting, I check it out. Today's word was "Graminivorous" Because I know what "...ivorous" means, I continued reading. Part of speech: adjective Origin: Latin, mid-18th century (Of an animal) feeding on grass. Examples of Graminivorous in a sentence: "Most of the farm animals were graminivorous." "Meredith’s research studies the effects of a graminivorous diet." Of course, I thought of Hindus and their beloved cows first. I tried to think of sentences using alliteration. "Vanny's cows, in their graminivorous gratitude, gobbled up the grass I gave them." Then I realized that, as a horse, I am primarily a graminivour. In any case, have you heard of this site? Would you click on some of their words?
