Something new from Collins Dictionary

Collins Dictionary
is a free online dictionary, thesaurus, and reference source.  Here's what's new there:
  • Motivation Mondays = Words that set a positive tone or relate to motivating events/topics for the rest of the week.
  • Trending Tuesdays = Words that are currently trending or tied to what’s trending in news, culture, or topics people are talking about right now.
  • Wordy Wednesdays = Interesting, unusual, or obscure words that few people know about.
  • Throwback Thursdays = Archaic or old-fashioned words and memorable objects from the past.
  • Foreign Language Fridays = Words that originated from different languages.
  • Slang Saturdays = Slang words, both from the present day and the past.
  • Submission Sundays = Words that are chosen by users and they can submit their ideas every Monday on our Instagram story.
HarperCollins UK (www.harpercollins.co.uk) emailed me this information on Sunday, January 25, 2026.  Did you notice that they chose to present the week as Monday through Sunday and not the usual Sunday through Saturday?  You can find their Word of the Day, HERE.
