Why I admire people with big vocabulary

There are millions of words in the English dictionary, which unfortunately, I can only ever remember to use a less than a third of it. I love diverse vocabulary more than I’d like to admit, but I can’t help it. Who wouldn’t want to sound studious with vocab like that? I sure do.

I have even begun to keep a word list where I note down any interesting, uncommon word that I read. Here are a few that I’ve written down:

Frittering: wasting time, money, or energy on meaningless things

Asinine: extremely stupid or foolish.

Gripe: a minor complaint.
