Hey, I like vocabulary. I thought of a great idea - share your advanced vocabulary words with everyone! Since a lot of people like using advanced words this is a great start to learn new advanced words.
Just post your favorite words to use (keeping it clean, mind you), and give their meanings. No double-posting, please. |
