Title: Fit for a fourth grader
Product review: This book is an absolute embarrassment. Anybody reading beyond the high school level will find it totally valueless. These would be great vocabulary words for children in grade school.I bought this book expecting interesting words like pellucid or philology (thanks Simon Winchester), brobdingnagian or perspicacity. Instead, I was chagrined to find a banal collection of everyday language, including:capricious, carte blanche, heresy, malaise, mantra, nirvana, red herring, suave, tirade...AHD editors, I expected better!
