Here's the proof that social networks aren't made only of useless bull____. Like I said before, you spend a great portion of your day reading things online. Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr... A piece of advice from me: Take a time, select some texts from your friend's wall/feed (just a suggestion, but it can be from somewhere else) and start correcting it, putting the commas where they belong... Then write it in some way you think the text would seem more fluid, interesting and instigating. You will not only improve your vocabulary but also your writing skills.

"There are Facebook pages like Word Porn that post interesting words that show up in your news feed. There are vocabulary word games like freerice. I like to keep a list of words that catch my attention, like miasma and serendipity. You can also Google amazing unique words and find lists of fun words you probably have never heard before. You can make it a game by picking one word per day and try to use it as much as you can before the end of the day. Go through your stories and spice bland chapters up with better synonyms. Read books from different time periods and cultures. Just absorb everything you can get your hands on and use repetition to make it stick." (@WrittenOnRainDrops)

Personal comment: I decided to place it here because she mentions facebook pages and Google, but she also gives other great ideas. Including reading. Great advices!
