Have you ever had a favorite word? When you are studying for the bar you start to think about random things like your favorite word. No, let's be honest, I thought about my favorite words way before I started studying for the bar. I probably even started thinking about my favorite words before I played Boggle.
For example, in high school, my biology/chemistry lab group was fascinated with the word "ignoble." How many other negative words do you know with the prefix "ig-"?
I love the word "paraphernalia." Fortunately Google Chrome has a spell checker because I just spelled it incorrectly and had to change it. Say it a few times. It's pretty cool.
During the second semester of law school, my little study group had a few favorite words. Ben's was "ostensibly." He used it in almost every sentence. Mine was "comport." Thank you, Julie Cohen, for permanently fixing the word "comport" in my day-to-day vocabulary. Professor Cohen can also be thanked for affixing in my mind the concept of the 30,000 foot view of property law. Right now that's about as close as I want to get to property law, but sadly, I must return to studying.
Readers, any favorite words?
