... It would be nice, sometimes, to know where some of my vocabulary comes from. Because I'm in the middle of writing a story, and I find myself typing the word 'remonstrances'. And then staring at it, for a second, and going to look it up to check that it is, in fact, a word. It is. It's even, in point of fact, the exact word I was looking for, meaning exactly what I thought it meant.
Thing is? I didn't know I knew that.
*spreads hands* Between my parents, all the books I've ever read, all the films and tv and conversations I've heard, I have SO MANY WORDS. In context more often than dictionary definitions, vague senses more than precise understandings. So many words. And there are times when ... sometimes I wonder how many of them are real. *grins sheepishly*
