reflection

I don’t notice the words around be not cause they are not noticed just they are not used. The words we are told to study are so unspoken that they are confined to ether a teachers vocabulary or a English nut .As far as if i approach words in a different way i do but I'm not posting words in blogs i find that i don't know.I may look it up or ask someone but that's about as far as i go for figuring out new words. A digital dictionary or dictionary.com makes it easy to find meanings of words. Using the words I learned would probably happen if the person i was talking to knew them as well. Because it would be a pain in the butt to keep explaining what you just said over the minute you said it. There are much easier words that mean the same thing so of course I use that word instead of the fourteen letter word for good. As far as remembering the words after tests or even before that, some are easy to remember do to the word being used in some minute way when normal people talk. Other words you never hear are harder to learn do to them not being spoken at all. Its like the saying"you don't use it you lose it". And that's very true for vocabulary words math equations and any other skill or knowledge one might pick up somewhere. It seems thet over half of the words in the dictionary wont ever be spoken my man or otherwise.
