Before writing this post, I tried to look through my vocabulary words and think of something to write about based on them. That didn't work, seeing as I'm now writing about vocabulary itself. It seems as if a lot of the words I've learned this year are too grandiose for general writing or speech. Though I do like having a wide vocabulary it is easier, in general, to keep my knowledge tacit.
That sounds arrogant, but at this point, people often don't worry about their vocabulary. People my age deem a wide vocabulary unnecessary. They think that their general diction is sufficient. I tend to go with that as well because explaining your word choice to your friends is no fun. However, I do pay attention to vocabulary.com and like to have a better lexicon for my use when I want.
I liked how you used the words in a different way. I also agree that most people these days don;t think a strong vocabulary matters.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you told your opinion with the words from vocabulary.com. I do agree most people don't think high level vocabulary is important.
ReplyDeleteI like how honest you are, and I agree with you. Nowadays, people are not learning vocabulary.
