Word Power (Print and Save?)

Test taking is an inexorable fact. Having a greater command of words helps your reading comprehension and sometimes expression.

Good writers look words that fit. They may seek nuance in meaning, alliteration, or a word that fits a situation.  


For example, the words preordination and predestination have some theological roots, while destiny, fate, and kismet are more often used. However, kismet often occurs in the context of relationships. 

Here's an "SAT" word list...many of which do not often show up in daily conversation. 

And as a bonus a couple of other "word treats"

"I" before "E" except after "C" or when sounded like "A" as in "neighbor" or "weigh." Here's an exception sentence (doesn't include every example):

Neither foreign financier seized either species of weird leisure.

Lagniappe. Reminder. Many sports take advantage of angles in contacting or passing the ball. Ball, meet platform.
