| | | Way with words! Yeah, I kinda realised majority of the board are very good with words. E.g. nomas, sombra, donut, Choi etc. I'm wondering, how have you people (don't know if this is the right word) become as articulate as you guys are now? | | Loveforum Breaktime | | |  | Loveforum also recommend - Green tea - Help in weight loss and decrease rate of getting cancer.

| | | Most likely read up words that they dont understand in the dictionary, which enables them to expand their vocabulary. | |

| | | I've been a writter all my life, I atone my knowledge by watching people throughout the years. This is how I study life.
By understanding human behavior, I can atone to figure out peoples reaction to a moment. A choice if you will...
We however simple those choices may be, are really a fascinating and complex species.

| | | Books help.
I've always enjoyed reading books.
Ironically I always hated vocabulary.
Almost always failed my vocab quizzes in highschool.

| | | Thanks, Quiche, I'm honored to have made your list because I don't feel quite so articulate..I just try to choose the most appropiate words I can find to best convey what I'm trying to get accross. This may be because I only started learning english in like fourth grade...maybe it's overcompensation.
Still, as others have mentioned: observing others..and it depends what kind of atmosphere you're in...so like Sombra said, this is where experience comes in. As a teenager you probably don't hang out with a lot of people that speak the way some of us write here. I know I picked up a lot of buzz words once I began my professional career. And, of course, reading as Frisbee suggests..other than that..personal ambition. Some of us still think that being articulate is an impressive quality, but honestly most girls probably don't want to have to carry a dictionary on dates, so there's a time and place for everything, I guess is the message.

The friends I gained during highschool (not in highschool) are all for the most part well spoken.
'Cept for Topher and Steve.
But besides those two you'll find that we all tend to type exactly how we talk.
Well...
Maybe not Jim.
But Jim's gay so he has an excuse.
...
Regardless we all talk good!
