vocabulary rejoices

This book really IS good. I love the way it's written and the words and everything. Ah...bliss. My latest finds:

bucolic - http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=bucolic

amaurotic - http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=amaurotic

proclivity - http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=proclivity

laconic - http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=laconic

preadamite - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Preadamite

So some of these are pesky words you see and look up and forget or see everywhere and only guess as to what they are referring to, but I've never even seen "amaurotic" before. These are GOOD words too, like really useful or interesting or delightfully obscure. Preadamite I guess you can figure out easy enough, still interesting. hmm...

i enjoy this :D

Those are good words. And I always forget laconic..:D

You know what's another good word. Abulic. I dunno I just like that word a lot, and your words reminded me of it.
