Define 'Educated'...
The editors of the American Heritage® dictionaries have one
way to weed out the erudite
from the rude...they have published a collection of 100 Words
That All High School Graduates — And Their Parents —
Should Know.
"The
words we suggest," says senior editor Steven Kleinedler,
"are not meant to be exhaustive but are a benchmark against
which graduates and their parents can measure themselves. If you
are able to use these words correctly, you are likely to have
a superior command of the language."
How many of
the words they recommend are in your vocabulary? If there are
any that are unfamiliar, just click and you'll see the American
Heritage® Dictionary definition along with some interesting
facts about how the word came to mean what it does today...here
