iBarty So, you guys..I have a question but I'm not sure how to word it exactly so I'll start it off by explaining something.
As some of you know, I rp online. Now, I do like people to have a grasp at the English language (I can understand typos and such as long as they're not made constantly). Vocabulary wise, I'm not the smartest. I reiterate a lot of the same words, not knowing too much of a variety. Now, what I'm trying to get at is this..
Do you ever find yourself typing something, saying something, speaking about something, and then you say/type/whatever a word that you know the meaning of, but not off hand? Like...it's one of those things you know in the back of your mind, but you wouldn't know what the word actually meant until you looked it up?
For example, I'll post part of what I came up with:
Landon could have made the decision himself, but he figured it'd be better to get everyone's input on the subject and then he could correlate it according to how he thought it'd work best.
I had no idea what that word meant off hand until I looked it up on dictionary.com, but...I used the word right. It just..I don't know. I find it strange that I do that with some words. Does anyone else do that? sweatdrop Quite common for me actually. I just pick words up from reading books and get a basic grasp of the meaning from context clues. I'd venture a guess that it's fairly common for anyone that reads a lot of books.

Streamjumper Shoujo Phoenix I've done that, sorta(?) Like, I'll be typing something, and a word comes to my mind to type...then I go double check the meaning. Usually with words I don't often use. Heh... I'd warrant a guess that you learned the words in context and they just kinda laid low until recall kicked in.

Bart~ I don't think it's worth the time. It takes forever and is still sorta glitchy. I think when I got the player that way, it took somewhere around...40 minutes D;
