    I think you should incorporate the current word of the day into the thread title. Is there a way to automate this process?

    I haven't written any scripts yet. Time is not plentiful this week. Weekend hopefully if I get spare time from studying.

    (but yes, your suggestions and a few ideas of my own are on their way).
