I provide merit badges for curiously specialized skills—right now I'm focusing on writers & readers. Who decides if you've earned a badge? You, and only you. If you want to show off what you've earned, you can post a badge on your website or blog. Updates every weekday.

Thesaurus wrecks.

The “thesaurus wrecks” merit badge is for those of you who thought it sounded better the first way. Good luck with that. (Or should I say “irreproachable serendipity”?)
Part of the merit badges for writers series. The badge may be posted on your site or blog. Tell us why you’ve earned (or will never earn) it in the comments.
P.S. Thanks once again to Elle. DINOSAURS! RAWR!
