One thing that especially caught my eye was a link from Nancy's blog, <a href="http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/booksellers/press_release/100words/" rel="nofollow">100 Words Every High School Graduate Should Know.</a> There can be found a list of some pretty obscure words, and I have to wonder just how people can be expected to know ALL of them. And socialising online with a fair number of American people who've recently graduated High School, I'm fairly certain that list is a little too optimistic. Thanks for the list, though - Gave for some nice reading. A nice collection of interesting links here.

Gubernatorial and peanuts – hmmm… is there an unconscious pretzel connection there I wonder?

I enjoyed Christine Kane's word list. Gubernatorial sounds like it should have something to do with peanuts. Hi Joanna, thanks for the mention & these fascinating links.
