3. WOULD MOTHER GOOSE HAVE GRADUATED?
Did I mention grades? If you're like me, you got a D on a book
report in school that made you question the validity of letter grades.
Now's your turn to turn the table and give some of those grades back
to the authors. RhymeZone lets you say exactly how much you like any
document or any category of documents on our site. Thousands of you
have already done so!
Look at the bottom of the green box for any work you read on RhymeZone
and you'll see a pulldown menu that lets you assign a letter grade to
that work. Beneath the menu is a summary of the current grade, the
average of the grade assigned by you and your fellow users to that
work. So far, for example, "The Taming of the Shrew" is getting a
solid A, while "Hamlet" is only getting a B.
You can also grade any of the other documents that appear on
RhymeZone, including the quotes, nursery rhymes, and user
contributions, so have at it! Isaac Asimov and Frank Zappa are the
most popular quotesmiths right now, by the way. (Did you ever think
you'd hear those two names in the same sentence?)
4. DEFINE, DEFINE, WELL-EDUCATED INFANT! (*)
You can now use RhymeZone to find definitions, as you would with
a normal dictionary. Just select "Search for definition" in the
pulldown menu of the main form and type in your word. If it's
one of the 100,000+ words RhymeZone knows about, we'll tell you
everything we know. Good luck!
