Vocabulary

Throughout my time working on vocab.com, I have answered 2,244 questions, scored 324,275 points,   and spent a grand total of 6 hours and 11 minutes on this website. I have seen words I have been using for a long time and some that I have never heard of. Ever. For example the words tawdry. I'll use it in a sentence for you. The rug was very tawny, but interestingly enough it was very soft. Tawny means "having the color of tanned leather." Who ever thought of that word? That is why words interest me because I know that I would've never come up with these crazy words.

Here are some more examples of words that intrigue me;
-The dessert I had was saccharine.
     Saccharine means overly sweet.
- My back was assuaged by my message therapist.
     Assuage means to provide physical relief, as from pain.
-Without glasses, people are amorphous.
     Amorphous means having no definite form or distinct shape.

My point is, words are fascinating. There are probably millions of words that you do not know so go and expand your vocabulary and exceed expectations.
