Having a large vocabulary and knowing what to do with it is one of the most useful skills a person can have. What can be more important than our ability to express ourselves whether we are communicating our thoughts, emotions, or directions on how to get to the diner? So much confusion and misunderstandings that occur in our lives and in society are due to miscommunication. These happen less frequently for those who have a large vocabulary, good grammar, and a willingness to express themselves openly to whoever they are talking with.
A larger vocabulary and proper grammar are valuable tools for anyone to have in their tool belt as they seek to lead their best life possible.
