I'd like to make a note on vocabulary:
They teach it in school and promote it as sounding educated. -This is a lie.
Learning words for the sake of knowing obscure words will only help you in scrabble/ words with friends. Don't use them in real life. People won't understand you and you'll be a social reject.
Instead, learn the words specific to an industry or activity (aka jargon- notice how I didn't use it?). Using words that describe what your are trying to say and people understand is a lot more useful than sounding smart.
I feel like telling you this because I'm awesome. At Scrabble. Yep, I'm that guy. Just ask my old roommates about the first time they met me. I walked into a college room and tried to sound intelligent- it backfired. So when I destroy you at the next Word with Friends game don't feel bad. Just pity me for a lonely childhood.
