OS X's "Word of the Day" screensaver is a great way to passively learn words:

But I've always thought that its word list kind of stunk—it was full of obscure words that I could never really see myself using. I'd prefer something like Norman Schur's 1000 Most Important Words. What if you could plug your own word list into the screensaver?

    | awk 'BEGIN { FS=","; OFS="/" } /.+,.+,[^0,]/ { print $1,$2 }'
}

files () {
