The other day I got an 'ooOOooh' when I used the word 'Etymology', since when did using vocabulary become a 'posh' thing to do? It's a sorry state of affairs when the accepted term is waylaid in favour of laymen's terms and the like.
It saddens me when I see people saying "People who come over here should learn english!" when the general populace have great trouble speaking it themselves, and a Czech delivery driver I once knew speaks english better than a lot of english people I know.
That's the end of my short rant, there are 250,000 words out there, approximately, make it a small part of your life just to learn 1 new word a day.
