Sophisticated Vocabulary Media
My best friend Amanda thinks I always use "big words," so I created this page as a sort of "guide" for those of us who did not naturally acquire a sophisticated vocabulary index built into their brains. Anyway, I hope that by creating this page I will find more people like me out there. (By the way, Amanda's Qfeast name is Manda.Wizzle)
