Vocab Word #2
Please post your second personal vocab word here by midnight, Thursday, January 31, 2008. To receive full credit, you must (1) give the word, a correct definition, and where you found the word (e.g., story or book title); (2) post a word that has not already been posted by someone else or included on a previous vocab list; (3) post a word that, in my judgment, you probably didn't already know, and that you might possibly use in writing or conversation some day.
