This ain't playin' the game. Words shouldn't be too common, yet they must be recognizable by someone on the forum without recourse to outside sources. Remember long words are not always the best ones. I, myself, have been choosing short words that are simply not run-of-the-mill terms.

May I humbly suggest that you, Stingr69, go ahead and select a different word.
You got me. I cheated a little. My brother looked it up back when we were kids because he just loves that sort or minutia. I had to look it up to spell it right.

How about "tintinabulation"? I already know the word legit without looking it up.

If so: syntax. (Great-sounding word. No, not what they charge you in Vegas.)

Nope, voracious means a powerful appetite. And diction is the way one speaks. And effluvium means that which is moved by a flowing liquid.
