500 Words You Should Know
500 Words You Should Know | Caroline Taggart
1 post | 7 to read
Ever wanted to ameliorate your atavistic lexicon, engage in a little intellectual badinage or been discombobulated by tricky diction? 500 Words You Should Know has you covered. Words are beautiful and versatile things, but when used incorrectly they can lose a lot in transition, and the more complex the word, the more misused it can become. And as words eternally evolve in their everyday use, they can begin to be interpreted as something other than their original meaning. 500 Words You Should Know will inspire the reader to use uncommon words in their correct context, to utilize the English language to its full potential, and to test themselves on the words they think they already know.

Apparently there are 500 words we should know 😁

Cinfhen Haha, my son bought a book with a similar title / and he attempted to use one word a day in conversation but we couldn‘t stop laughing at him 😁 6y
TrishB 😁 I think I had a little calendar like that one year! 6y
Itchyfeetreader We had a calendar like that at work and ran a league trying to use them all - bonus points in presentations, to a senior person etc. On reflection not my finest hour 6y
