Importance of Vocabulary Building

Why bother increasing the amount and quality of the words you are using.

Vocabulary becomes important when you want to get beyond the use of the singular adjective. When the word interesting can be substituted with exciting, challenging or unfathomable then the person has a change to describe how interesting the event or item is. That person has to want to succeed in widening his usage too and he has to see the benefits of being more articulate.

The same goes for any other word that gets to be used more than is should and so the same could be said for the word ‘important’ when a t times the issue is of no importance at all, it is simply demanding and requires attention. Not everything that requires an attentive behavior is ‘important’ as in terms of prioritizing your daily schedule. So here we see that many people will often just let their language usage level off at the use of ‘important’ when there are particular instances of how the thing is top most in your mind.

Then one may remember academic exercises such as during composition or while summarizing a text that the teacher asked you to be more descriptive in your work and less repetitive. It allowed for more distinctive pictures of what you were trying to communicate and the teacher was aware of your ability to paraphrase without using the same words that appeared in the printed text. You showed originality and a spirit of literary inventiveness. Where is that going today? I hate to think when I still come across the misuse of “like” in sentences that once had a better choice of words. I hate to think, when the person learning the language is totally uncomfortable at expressing his thoughts  fully and all I hear are just short phrases that fall short of being able to grant satisfaction in debating an idea or defending an argument.

The like which in recent years has still taken the place of so many descriptive words continues to wreck havoc in conversations outside a certain mold. How would the person be able to give a decent comparison of like continues to be used other than the way it was meant to be: as a preposition and as a verb. The person wants to be emphatic or relate a comparison but the words to effectively express those are missing in the conversation between many young adults, even though they may have  appreciated being more articulate .
