I want to build up my vocabulary, so I want to read a thread that will have updated words everyday. I'll post a few words I read everyday or so, and I'll try to relearn them so I can impress myself and others with my amazing intelligence. This is for my own education, but you may join a long as well. Here is the list that I'll update when I have time.
