Since yesterday's ride was almost a sensory overload, I decided to enhance it a bit.<BR/><BR/>My mother is an English instructor at the same college my wife works at. Actually, I worked there right out of high school for almost nine years as well. I've always had a formidable vocabulary. <BR/><BR/>Most of the things I read and write are technical pieces. Contrary to how it sounds, technical writing is about conveying instructions in the simplest way possible. It's just boring, dull, programmatic, methodical instructions. A good technical writing piece never uses complicated verbiage.<BR/><BR/>I had to wring out the word muscles yesterday. And hey, you learned a few new words. Do what I do and try to put them to use.<BR/><BR/>By the way, irriguous is a word I learned recently, and I've been posting with bated breath for nearly a week looking for an excuse to use it in a post. No, I didn't get a Thesaurus for my birthday, but it is a great place to learn new words.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-68731234143015399432007-05-30T09:35:00.000-05:002007-05-30T09:35:00.000-05:00I had to go to dictionary.com three times during t...I had to go to dictionary.com three times during this post. <BR/>"irriguous"?????
