Word

Word that I like:
OSTENTATIOUS

(It means "showy" and is usually used in a negative sense. Ironic how the word "ostentatious" is just as showy as the noun which it is referring to.)


Word that I don't like:
LOINS

I can't think of any possible place where this word could be used without giving me shivers down my arms.

  2. And why is ABBREVIATE such a long word?

  3. I like:

    QUINTESSENTIAL

    Used appropriately, it makes one sound wonderfully intelligent.

    I don't like:

    AT

    There is nothing wrong with the word itself, but when used to conclude a sentence, it causes my hair to stand on end.

  4. I like:

    non sequitur

    It's about as goofy as it's meaning.

    I don't like:

    fun

    It's over-used, and I'm one of the ones who needs a thesaurus to find a good replacement!
