Don't postulate, ask questions.

Does anyone else enjoy reading the dictionary?  I work at a job where I have some free time and a spare dictionary.  I've found myself reading it a lot, and it has really helped my vocabulary.  I'll just flip the dictionary open to a random page and start looking for words I've never seen before.  Like the other day, I found the word, "postulate".  Awesome word!  It means to assume something to be true.  In a sentence it would go something like this, "Well you shouldn't have postulated that I would stop by the store and get milk should you?  It is fun to say and is a word you can use a lot.  I could go on for a while but there's really no need to.  Just pick up a dictionary for yourself and start reading.  An average American only knows about 1/4 of all the words in the English language; crazy right?  Think about it this way, English speaking people don't know 75% of the language they speak everyday.  That's crazy!
