Limited vocabulary

[Soup890]

Has anyone ever suffered or suffers from limited vocabulary and often find themselves stuck in situations where they are lost for words In everyday conversations?

What did you guys do to improve your vocabulary?

I took a break from starting threads on Cycle Chat.

Why?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

More time to read proper words, not inane drivel

 

[ChrisV]

Reading regularly and widely will improve your vocabulary.

Get yourself some good quality fiction and spend a few months reading it.

Sorted.

It's important to keep up with developments in language or you'll get sinister buttocks.

Of course, having a multiplicity of suitable words available for the intended use scenario gives an opposite but similarly affected symptom of appearing completely mentally challenged as you struggle to select the correct one for the said scenario... and end up talking bollocks anyway.

Here is my advice...

In promulgating your esoteric cogitation's or articulating your superficial and sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous panderosity.

Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensibiliness coalescent consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiation's have intelligibility and veracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast.

Sedulously avoid all polysyllable profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vivacity, ventriloquial verbosity and magniloquent rapidity. Shun double entendres, previnient jacosity and pestifereous profanity, observant or apparent.

In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly,truthfully, purely, keep from slang, don't put on airs, say what you mean, mean what you say and DON'T USE BIG WORDS.

Ok. Taking a leaf out of your book. This is another Insightful, informative concise load of bollacks of a thread. Nothing unusual there then.

oh and I understood the last bit of your speech, but not the first part.

Of course, you can ignore any advice offered that starts with 'Hears' when he means 'Here's'

Read and absorb some James Joyce.
