If I couldn't define or differentiate it, it went in the list

Now I just need to learn them…

[EDIT: some are more common, but I was conservative with my additions and so if I didn't feel 100% confident that I could absolutely define it then it was included]

  1. Kept the list in the good old trustee Keep Notes on android from the start of 2025 until the very end (technically there’s a few hours left – hopefully I don’t need to amend the list lol)

  2. I’m always surprised with how many words I can’t actually define, yet I am confident I can use them in the correct context.

  3. fishyfishyfishycat on

    I’m anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

  4. Is English not your native language? as there’s some words on there I’m surprised you didn’t know if that was the case.

    A lot of these I have no idea what they mean

  5. This is an interesting list quite a few I didn’t know but a lot I did. I’m surprised at some though, bespoke, reprieve, words like that seems awfully generic I’m surprised they made the list.

  6. For me I just have to open ”1984” by Orwell. There’s an average of 2 words per sentence that I have no idea what they mean. Like ”nipper” for ”child”, for example.

  7. Your last post said you were a teacher. I am pretty sure you should know many of these words…

  8. i know atleast 10 words out of this list, the only good thing for me today.

    also, i think you mentioned obtrusive twice
