Not a linguist, but I love words.

Truth be told, I just learned the word “esurient” today when I looked for a synonym for “greedy”. (I love the Internet.)

Esurient. I like it. A favorite under-used
word of mine is ‘condign.’

Thanks. I find m-w.com to be useful. Merium (sp?) Webster. Usually, most folks are pressuring me to dumb my vocabulary down.
