Vocabulary...
Any ideas on how I can expand my vocabulary.... I feel like I'm losing my intelligence...and I don't know or can't remember many words anymore, so I just end up repeating the same old lame ones. (Words on insulting ppl, and explaining things right now would be really helpful.) Thanx.
It's the little things that make a big difference.
In case you hadn't noticed...4-letter words:
love - hate - true - life
"And there are voices
That want to be heard
So much to mention
But you can't find the words"
--Listen to Your Heart, DHT
I can't erase myself, but I can try to move on.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Re: Vocabulary...
Would like to try it, but I lose interest to fast; so I don't read often, or at all for that matter. (I've never read all of any of my magazines (I think) and I get them monthly.)

u want to know long words to insult people with???
"Are you insinuating that I could tolerate this diabolical behaviour from such an insignificant micro-organism"
OR (my personal favourite)
"In promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Shun double-entendres, purient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent"
Basically, that means "dont use big words" lololol
Look all the words up!!! Or play around with a thesarus! Or just make up intelligent sounding words!

Re: Vocabulary...
READ. just read. read books you never gave a second look before. read books that are harder than your reading level, highlight confusing words and look them up later. go on journies thru the dictionary and pick a word a day to learn. write it down and review it. you won't remember all of them but many will stick with you.

It is a written and published (the net counts) thing, so it is not slander, it is libel.

I lose interest reading....and my level of books is adult.....I hate romance novels though....Just realistic, scientific, mystery, horror/murder something of the sort...and I'm not fond of fantasy, so I've never read/looked into any of the Harry Potter series.
(And yes I know...a lot of other ppl like the same genres, which is why I don't hink it's uncommon anymore---and it's not as _________--well I just don't get the effect (of being different, b/c so many other ppl experience that now--so it's not as interesting---it was cool in middle school though, reading/liking the gory books that most guys would read instead of girls........call me childish still or selfish (plz don't though, really) because it's only b/c I've isolated myself from reality so I don't know what's going on (like what's fab for who)...plz help....

Re: Vocabulary...
Interesting, our city holds classes for different ages to improve such things as vocabulary, reading, and spelling, ect.
Maybe you could look into that and see if they have it in your town?
Hum...Also like the others said, just read more. My vocabulary is pretty big, but like Dustin, i tend to not use it on the internet...
Or if your still in school you could take an advanced English/vocabulary course.
