Dictionary Week culminated with Word Inspiration Day. What inspires us is you—and all the ways you use Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com to express yourselves.
Here at “D-com,” as we call it, we have a tradition in which new team members share the words that best tell us who they are. We extended that tradition to you—but with a twist.
We asked you to tell us: What one word would you want your name to appear next to in the Dictionary?
We were so inspired by your submissions that we selected some of them as our Word of the Day! Stay tuned to see which words we chose!
