Word

September 19th, 2006

For those of you who are preparing to take the GRE for grad school or masochism, I give you a word to study: raconteur.

I first heard the word three days ago; since then, I have seen it thrice. Once on Wikipedia, once on the aforementioned “Bullshit!”, and once in the Wall Street Journal print edition.

Be not feckless when learning.

    “The Raconeurs” are also a band, featuring the Jack White of “The White Stripes”.
    Knowledge is power!
