Houghton Mifflin has published a list of words every high school senior should know. I’ve used words like feckless and diffident in conversation(usually with myself or on my blog LOL), and I knew a few yeoman over the years, but when is the last time any of us employed the word ziggurat?
Education Blogger Joanne Jacobs says she hasn’t used that word or gamete of late. Maybe we lack the acumen or I’m too busy being churlish. The full list is below the fold.
