on the more advanced end, learn early that dictionaries describe, not prescribe: they observe frequency of usage and document how frequent that word is used by the masses (descriptively), in order to rank which meaning goes in an entry.. they do not, however, officiate meaning. In M-W's words, they are authoritative, not authoritarian. A dictionary is for troubleshooting what some might have meant, not to prove someone used a word wrong--the user of it would have used the word in question in a way that is not frequent enough to be recognized by modern dictionaries, and the policy of using words strictly in only way a dictionary documents (prescriptively) is a personal style choice, not a genuine regulatory policy imposed by the dictionary itself. Some games like Scrabble, or indeed classrooms, may impose this rule for learning or scoring systems, but that grading remains within the scope of that class or for points like a game, not in the true spirit of the dictionary 🥰 -student of lexicography and autism niche interest in dictionary craft 🥰

Love this! I use the Merriam-Webster app. It has a Word of the Day feature and fun word games.

I love this! Also, if you have or are planning to have kids, talk to them using the entirety of your vocabulary. Kids are curious and will ask you what words mean. Mine did so often that it inspired me to write a children’s book a couple of years ago that introduces advanced vocabulary to young kids. I sold at a farmers market yesterday and had an adult say she learned two new words from it - and that’s not the first time I’ve received that feedback!

Your approach sounds like a paradigm from Latin and A.Greek. The method that I use to learn a word is to write a story or poem about it. A story helps me to encode and recall the idea. Huzzah

This is amazing! I end up making up words using this without realizing I was using this technique (although those words don't tend to actually exist haha)

Would you mind suggesting a book about grammar? Like I forgot what an adverb was. I use them but could not have told you what it was.
