Welcome to another fine and frolicsome episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Are you thinking about Spring Break yet? It's not very far away. While you're busy making plans for a little getaway, why not treat your vocabulary to a vacation from ordinary, everyday words by learning a new one? Like the Word of the Week, for instance:

Example: Did you know that James Earl Jones, the famous actor, developed his mellifluous voice through years of practice aimed at overcoming his childhood habit of stuttering?
