For example, the Post says that students will no longer be expected to know “difficult, lesser-used vocabulary words”

I got "aviatrix" wrong on the GRE, on the basis of "too obvious". Seems like a regular word to me now ... don't know why I never learned it before my senior year of college.

But you won't catch me campaigning to eliminate "aviatrix" from the GRE!

I’ve always wondered why it’s Senator Boxer, not Senatrix Boxer.

That's because you're a racist.
