[quote=Anonymous]Like other posters, I've always loved reading and words, and have accumulated a naturally big vocabulary. It has nothing to do with trying to impress people. Even in the foreign language I speak semi-fluently, I'll often find that I have a bigger vocabulary than my much more fluent friends, who overall speak the language better (better accent, better grammar, etc). It's not a conscious thing, and if anything, I feel awkward about it. I do have to restrain myself in writing at work (legal/policy analysis)-- it's fine to have a big word or two in there, but it's easy to overdo it. Yes, even in legal writing. There's this judge on I think the First Circuit who makes it a point to cram as many obscure words as possible into his opinions, and they are just painful to read. [/quote]
