“Oddly, the contemporary book that gives perhaps the most romantic explanation for why you should learn words is ‘The Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder,’ which says that the ‘primary reason to seek a larger vocabulary has nothing to do with impressing people, cultivating professional gain or building scholarly achievement.’ The reason the authors of this curious book give for learning new words? ’It makes life more interesting.‘“ It also gives you a much more entertaining strategy to express expletives than colloquial four letter words.
