What exactly is the need for building up vocabulary or knowing new words over and above the common words ? I am not asking from academic perspective but trying to grasp the real need for learning new words. Some say that it helps express oneself better but how that’s not possible with the most commonly used words and rare words are anyways perhaps might not be comprehensible as they are uncommon. Isn’t simple and easy better ? Most books use uncommon words that are not spoken in day to day life. Request your views

    You sound like the guy I met in Japan who insisted this alphabet had too many letters because letters like X and Z weren’t needed. You don’t need the words Zebra when ‘striped horse’ supposedly “works just as well!”

    I have to assume you’re a troll or something.

    Edit: You posted this exact post to like 5 different subs, so like. Def a troll and/or spammer.

      Someone looking for people to do their homework, I assumed.

      But 26 is too many letters. Irish only has 18 and it’s fine.
