From January 1's crambazzled (an old Yorkshire term indicating premature aging due to excessive drinking) to December 31's kalopsia (a newfangled word for a state in which all looks beautiful), Word Perfect offers a delightful morsel of linguistic brilliance for every day of the year.

Prepare to wow friends and family with your expanded and significantly more colorful vocabulary! (AG)
