A few of us were talking a couple weeks ago about vocabulary words we remember learning from actual vocabulary lists/tests in high school. I kinda chuckled and said that the only word I remember learning was "undulating" in 9th grade because of how my English teacher would form the word with her mouth.
Then, lo and behold, three ... not one, but *three* novels I read last week used the word within. I found that particularly amusing and wondered if the authors were all about my age and we all had that word on our 9th grade vocabulary lists.
The other words I've learned this week are Australasia and Interlocutor. What about you?
