I had my students make a list of their 10 favorite words to put into a poem. My words were:

contradictory
facade
anthropomorphic
specificity
enthusiasm
sojourn
ecclectic
loyal
nostalgia
empathetic

According to my mother, one of my earliest words was "caps," as in hubcaps, as I would often to point to things asking what they were. Hubcaps were close to my line of sight, I suppose.

Favorite part of speech? A tie between adjectives and adverbs. I just love description. It's so... so, uh, good. :p One of my nicknames as an English teacher is The Champion of the Adverb. You didn't "finish quick;" it's "finish quickly." Teacher pet peeves... geez. :rolleyes:

[JON9000]

immolation
immaculate
archetypal
verisimilitude
lucubration
manner

and I don't think I ever used even one in a post. Until now!:eek:
