Hey guys! I created this thread specifically for those of us who love rummaging our dictionaries for new words.Those of us that are avid for adding more and more words to our special 'Vocabulary' List,those whom I refer to as 'The Word Geeks'.Please note that I'll be posting 'A' word per day,and whenever I do that I'll add denotations,connotations and derivatives of that word.Anyone who is interested can also do the same;Let's Take Lexicology to its Apotheosis.
