Purpose of this blog...

I've always thought of myself as having a decent vocabulary, but I've always told myself that I wish I knew more words. I think I would if I actually read books more often, but I don't. This means that most of my vocabulary is simply spoken, conversational English - which doesn't afford any great opportunities to learn new vocabulary (unless you're mingling with an English teacher, for example).

Anyway, in this blog, each post will be a word that I may or may not have heard before. In any case, though, it will be a word for which I did not know the full meaning, or a word that I thought I knew the meaning of, but didn't.

This blog is mainly for my own benefit, but if you happen to enjoy reading it, then be my guest!
