Teaching myself new words is proving to be an interesting experience. I've set myself a challenge of adding 20 new words a day to my somewhat limited vocabulary. Apparently, a word I could use for this is 'accretion'.
- accretion n. a gradual build-up or enlargement
Over a period of four week, 20 words a day should lead to a gain of around 500 words. Nice in theory, but I'm a bit of a tyro at this, and I'm still refining the learning process. So, realistically, I'm expecting to achieve about half that target.
- tyro n. novice, amateur
