Let me tell you one thing, I'm fond with new yet, not usually used, vocabulary. You know the feeling of digging for gold just to brush the dust away from the old box, to reveal ancient gold. The feeling you get when touching the ancient wood and smelling the fragrance escaping from it is exactly what I feel when I find such words. They are my own treasure. I guess that is another thing in common between us. You should certainly have a look at my collection. I promise I'll be posting it soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that we have even more things in common! :) And I believe I can imagine the feeling, hope I will experience it :p
DeleteWaiting to check your collection!! :)
This is really a real treasure to add to one's vocabulary bank although not used much. I find it really helpful and useful to keep up a listed reservoir of added information to one's knowledge. Looking forward to read more of your treasure findings.
