Anyone have a really good vocabulary? Or a website with lots of big words…?
I’m putting together a P.U.D. (it’s a composition of big words that I want to keep handy when I writing). I have some pretty good words like “anhialate” and “comprehension” and “rasp”. Got any good long/impressive words for me to use? Or maybe you know of a website with a dictionary/word bank…
I need atleast 100 words, and I’m putting them into catagories like “taste” and “emotions” and “actions” etc.

I guess you can go to http://www.dictionary.com and http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/wdj.asp?wordType=2.
Dictionary.com also has a “word of the day” thing.

The word list does you no good if the words in the list are misspelled: annihilate, categories… But I’ll let you in on a little secret. Your reader does not like to sit and read with a dictionary at hand, nor does he like to pause and consider whether a word is correctly used, according to HIS semantics. Learning how to use common, everyday words in new and refreshing ways and combinations will appeal much more to the average reader. Reading should be easy. Even the white space between the lines of text are wide enough to provide an avenue for the eye to travel back to the beginning of the next line. A description is useless unless every single word is clearly understood. Painting a “picture” in the reader’s own vocabulary is the best way to make the reading experience enjoyable. I’m not saying that a dazzling word isn’t a plus now and then. But the first priority for the written word is communication. One shouldn’t ever lose sight of that fact. If you’re still in the market for long words, though, here’s my most recent favorite: hemidemisemiquaver

First. spell it right: annihilate
Then, get a Roger’s Thesaurus. Look up the simple word that you’re familiar with. The thesaurus will give you other words that are similies – about the same. Then, take your impressive word and look it up in a dictionary to make sure it’s conveying the right “flavor” of what you want to say.
