If you like words, and their meanings, and often strive to improve your vocabulary, please tell me ONE or TWO of your favorite words, words that are not commonly used in everyday talk between friends, such as 'egregious', or 'pedantic'. GOTCHA there, didn't I? (Unless you happened to see some of my other questions).
