that is some serious self improvement.

think you know some words then?

"Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation."

lol, Edmund Blackadder's line, of course, not mine.

I read the dictionary a lot too. We had the world book two volume dictionary, and it was pretty interesting really. The dictionary and the encyclopedia too. Cover to cover, all of the volumes.

We didn't have hardly any other books.

except all the Jehovah's Witnesses literature, which I also read cover to cover.

but that was and still is senseless drivel really, insulting to the intelligence.

always had beautiful illustrations of multiple races of happy people living together happily with lions and tigers and zebras and stuff.
