Is it just me or does everyone else have a Webster's dictionary close to their desks to disseminate all these large words?

I understand most of them, thank God I had that Honors British English teacher that required us to learn all those words. Of course I forgot half of them.

I never thought I would need to dust good old Webster off to read a few posts on SI. Wonders never cease. Let us extend this thread to include vocabulary lessons to expand all of our vocabularies. Let us pick a few new words a day and then all we have to do is use them three times and we own them!

I will start with the word equipoise. A random selection from my "Random House Webster's College Dictionary."

equipoise:
1.) an equal distribution of weight; even balance; equilibrium
2.) a counterpoise
3.) to equal or offset weight; balance

I think we need an equipoise here on this forum. Things always tend to get way out of wack. There, now somebody else's turn.

Ok, maybe I am crazy right now. I think it is all those damn Endorphins. I just got back from running a few hours ago. My body was shocked, to say the least.

Don't quit using those large words Steve. I am just kidding around. You are obviously very intelligent. Any words we don't know we will learn quickly after seeing you use them a few times.

Man what am I talking about anyways? I have got to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day. Shoot it is already tomorrow here. Oh well.
