Strengthening Your Command of the Language: New Edition of “Words of the Month”

If you’ve still not checked out the November/December 2019 edition of “Words of the Month,” my free vocabulary enrichment feature, I would urge you to do so right away. It will be removed from my website sometime tomorrow. Here are the six featured words, all of which lie within the conversational vocabulary of America’s most articulate (as is the case with all of the words featured in my book, “The Articulate Professional-3^rd Edition”):

1. inestimable

2. petulant

3. cede

4. ham-handed

5. exultant

6. desiccated
