So, I get an email everyday from Merriam-Webster called Word Of The Day.
I use this often to try to add new words to my vocabulary. It's said that if you can use the 7-10 times that you will most likely retain the word in your memory.
So, I've decided to start posting a new word each day when I have time. If you're interested, feel free to add them too.
Today's Word:
Manifesto - noun man-uh-FESS-toh
A written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer
James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.

Repeating and even writing the word in sentences did not do it for me back I 5th grade vocabulary class for a certain word- to this day I cannot think of the word but the definition is, "to make trite through over use."
Otherwise, I pretty much agree with the repeating premise. I would be careful with the word you received as regular repeating might get you on the no fly list among other lists.

When I see a word I’m not sure about the meaning, I look it up.
Came across two words yesterday in my reading:
FURTIVE
ASSUAGE
( furtive: on the sly, not wanting to be detected. It was in reference to Rosenstein wanting to furtively record Trump’s comments)
(assuage: To mitigate, subdue, ease, lessen the impact)
"Behavior accepted is behavior repeated."
"Strive to be underestimated."
