Anomia- difficulty thinking of a certain word

[Anonymous]

Living in a 55+ community this is a passtime we all participate in. I'm surprised there are no complexes called Anomia Gardens. I will say that generally we just try to help each other out figuring out what the hell it is we're trying to say. It can be entertaining.

In childhood, I was surrounded by family members with large, rich vocabularies. I picked-up words but wouldn't use them correctly. Not quite correctly.

You are all on the right track!

Imagine you’re working at a small business with time consuming, manual processes, and one day you’d like to be more _______, meaning you want to have the staff, time, and technical capabilities to automate/streamline things.

It’s an opposite of antiquated, but it’s not “modern.” It’s ________. It’s what? Not nuanced. Not complex. OptimiZe is close, but not quite.

Capacious, streamlined? Latitudinous?

Pretty sure all of us on this thread don’t have glioblastoma.
