Again we will most likely not talk about hosting or the Internet once in this post. Rather we will be updating you on the annual "100 words every high school graduate should know." This list is made by the editors of the American Heritage dictionaries and to be honest, I don't think I know the definitions of each of these words off the top of my head. Furthermore I don't even think I could spell all of these words. But that is fine because I'm sure many other people around the world don't know more than half of these words and it does not seem as though these words are used in normal human conversations. These are just words that the editors suggest should be known. But in reality we all know that most of these are unknown. abjureabrogateabstemiousacumenantebellumauspiciousbeliebellicosebowdlerizechicanerychromosomechurlishcircumlocutioncircumnavigatedeciduousdeleteriousdiffidentenervateenfranchiseepiphanyequinoxeuroevanescentexpurgatefacetiousfatuousfecklessfiduciaryfilibustergametegauchegerrymanderhegemonyhemoglobinhomogeneoushubrishypotenuseimpeachincognitoincontrovertibleinculcateinfrastructureinterpolateironyjejunekinetickowtowlaissez fairelexiconloquaciouslugubriousmetamorphosismitosismoietynanotechnologynihilismnomenclaturenonsectariannotarizeobsequiousoligarchyomnipotentorthographyoxidizeparabolaparadigmparameterpecuniaryphotosynthesisplagiarizeplasmapolymerprecipitousquasarquotidianrecapitulatereciprocalreparationrespirationsanguinesoliloquysubjugatesuffragistsupercilioustautologytaxonomytectonictempestuousthermodynamicstotalitarianunctuoususurpvacuousvehementvortexwinnowwroughtxenophobeyeomanzigguratSo if you are a currentl high school graduate and do not know the definitions for these words, you should be ashamed. Just kidding, don't worry you should be happy that you could even pronounce these words.
