RESOURCE TWO:
11 Words That Will Make You Sound Super Smart
Posted: When someone constantly uses the filler word "like," you probably think
they don't sound so smart. But have you ever met someone who's babbling "like"
after "like," and then suddenly inserts a zinger of a vocabulary word such as
"sycophant," which means a person who acts obsequiously toward someone
important in order to gain advantage (or "obsequiously," which means full of or
exhibiting servile compliance)?
RESOURCE THREE:
Incorporate These 8 Amazing Words Into Your Vocabulary Immediately

mammoth, we suggest that you scrounge up a few of your favorites (or, if you're
feeling uninspired, borrow a few from the below list), and: Have you noticed tired
acronyms seeping into your speech, annoyingly usurping what was once a rightful
place for poignant, playful language?
