    And you work in a library? Take some time and find the dictionary…

    ^ I agree! Reading a lot of books (depending on the books, of course) can help increase your vocabulary immensely.

    Claire, I’m surprised at you! After all, you are a college grad and work in the library, for cryin’ out loud!

    I can’t believe she actually asked him that! I would have quietly looked it up, but this is the kind of relationship Claire and Paul have…

    I’m so glad that I have always delighted in the study of our language. My maternal grandfather was a professor of Greek and Latin in a college before his retirement and he taught me to count to 100 in Latin before I started school. I often read books with a flashlight after I was sent to bed and it often was a dictionary, because I loved to trace the source (etymology) of words, even back in grade school.
