I could waste a lot of time on the website savethewords.org. It's a nifty page, dedicated to saving English's disappearing terms such as:

• jecorary--related to the liver
• lambition--the act of licking
• pessundate--to cast down
• agonyclite--a member of a heretical sect that stood rather than kneeled

The truly dedicated can adopt a word, sign up for a new word a day, and even buy a tshirt with their favorite word emblazoned on it for all to see. Even a quick browser will learn a lot in just a few minutes.

Thanks to the Utne Reader's "Great Writing" blog for the tip.--David E
