I’m drawn to certain words. The attraction is often a word’s meaning or spelling, but sometimes I just like the way a word rolls off my tongue.
Experts say you learn the majority of your vocabulary by the age of six, but I’m continuously trying to expand mine. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy reading so much; there are always new words to learn. Here are a few of my favorites:
Cerulean
Jalalabad
Gobsmacked
Garage
Wanderlust
Serendipity
Yes
Chocolate
Supernatural
Smock
Clamenza
Magic
Cinnamon
Novelist
Dream
Fiery
Pie
Afterthought
Destiny
Kindred
Vespertine
Zamboni
Obsidian
Sassenach
What are some of yours?
