I don't want a list of words with definitions next to them. I just want a large list of as many essential, useful words as I can find. English is my first language, so I'm doing this to enrich my vocabulary, not to learn the language. You might say, "Look through the dictionary", but that is not efficient because I just end up coming accross mainly obscure words that I won't end up using. I've found sites that are perfect and have a whole bunch of essential vocabulary words, SAT sites, GRE sites and the like. The problem is that the lists take up too much space.They're arranged so that the definitions are next to the word. And you cant just select and paste the words without also pasting the definitions, so it ends up being over 100 pages. I could just extract each word one by one, but that would take hours. I just want a list that I'll be able to paste into Word and shrink the type down so it takes up less space. Is there a site that has lists of words written like a run-on sentence?

I know that going across the United States is trans-continental. Would it be the same for going across the American-Canadian border, or is "trans-continental" reseved for going from the east to the west and vice-versa? Is there even a word for it?

I hate it when nervous people say they are on tender hooks when they mean tenter hooks.
Or when people think they are having some rest bite rather than respite.
Or when people pronounce the letter H as Haitch rather than Aitch.

What common mistakes really get your goat?

This question is based on the newly discovered dimensions of a dark side to Truth, which may be the original sin, a sin that is still with us; half-truths.

Problem is there was until recently only one definition of half-truth in most dictionaries, there is now some 7 newly discovered forms of half-truths. What are they?

Everything has a negative side to it, people, angels, but not God.

So the question is how can truth be manipulated upon to lie to us. Most of politics involes this type of lie, the term applied to it is 'half-truths'.

Provide examples of different half-truths ?

I will give you one !

Example:
"We are all equal before God"
is changed to
"We are all equal"
This type of half-truth is a literal half of a truth.
We are all equal is the false logic communisom, we may be equal in some areas but in general we are not all equal. Being equal before God (Law), implies that you won't get (idealisticly) special treatment.
