I found the 1974 edition of this book on my uncle‘s old book shelf. I‘ve been doing the same job for fifteen years and figured my non-professional vocabulary had stalled. It turns out I knew most of the words in this book already, and some of the words I learned I probably will never have a use for. It would be interesting to read the current version of this to see how the authors changed it to correspond to our shiny, modern, utopian world. 😫
What the hell, Funk & Lewis?!?
Found this ‘ol book on my uncle‘s bookshelf so I decided to learn some new words. It reeks of 1974, the year this edition was published. I wonder if these word laboratories are still in operation?!
I found this note left in a book that I bought from Thrift Books. It was an academic work for college/graduate level students so I was particularly amused.
