A word I have never seen used in speech or print. It reminds me of how English can seem as specific as the East Asian words\characters. In my 20’s, a researcher was at the lunch table talking about the state of humanity. He mentioned how most live and never expand their vocabulary beyond the average. It stuck with me and even now I regret he was right. I think it was John Gierach talking about float fishing down the Wind River with Thomas McGuane and Jim Harrison dumbfounded by their vast vocabulary. He gave them credit for dumbing it down around other people.
Over 2 million test results were taken from the self-developed quiz. Unsurprisingly, the website testyourvocab.com claims that reading has a considerate effect on the size of a human’s vocabulary. Especially people who read a lot of fiction tend to outscore people that hardly ever read.
