iPad App of the Day - WordWit

WordWit
Ballpoint Inc, 15.1 mb, $1.99


















Having trouble with the English Language? Not knowing currents from currants? Try the WordWit app, it's cheap as a salad and may help with vocabulary. Here within, users access a database of confusing words complied by experts and professors on our modern English language. Then, a game is possible that hopefully result in making it's user more competent as a writer of the modern English.

With a spin of the disk one or few times, words are chosen. Then chose a word and its "evil twin." and "Master It." Then, timed tests involving blank-filling happen, as progress is recorded and points are gained. Users may then redeem these points for actual merchandise, according to the WordWit app. Not sure which merchandise yet, as I am just starting..but this is a very unusual concept for a game. Also interesting is the option to post your progress on Facebook or Twitter. Heh, don't think my friends would share the excitement.

Still, this is a much fun way to learn. Especially, for those losing touch in a world of texting and autocorrect. Give it a try, especially if you blog much and need to self edit better ;)
