Word of the Day

ameliorateGetting Better Word of the Day:Improve is such a handy all-purpose verb that we don't often resort to this more formal synonym. It carries a slight nuance that suggests the thing being improved is bad to begin with. Speakers of French may see an echo of meilleur, "better," which lurks in this verb's ancestry.
