- March 14 is Einstein's birthday, and it's also the birthday of
Wordsmith.org. Ten years ago today our first word went
to a handful of friends.

Today, 570,000 subscribers, 210 countries, (including New Zealand),
3000+words, and some 500 million copies of AWAD later, we still believe in
the magic of words.

We are still tickled on discovering a curious word, and we still believe
a dictionary is the most fascinating book ever made.
