Over my time posting on here I have discovered that the vast majority of you have smaller vocabularies than a duck. Now, I feel that it is my duty to try and remedy this terrible issue. So from today I shall post a word and its meaning so that you may add it to your tiny vocabulary. Todays word is: Sesquipedalian It means a long word. Given to or characterised by the use of long words. Long and ponderous; polysyllabic. Thank you and I hope that you find room for this word in your life. See you again tomorrow. CAV

Already a member of a 'one word, one day' LJ group, so I must profess that this thread is of scant use to me. However, the sentiment is appreciated, and I remain convinced that some of our distinguished members will find this beneficial. Or something like that
