How to Become a Walking Dictionary

culled from:wikihow.com

Steps

1. 1
   Study dictionaries, thesauruses, and anything that can expand your world of diction. Pay attention in school when they give you spelling quizzes and new vocabulary to use. Try to watch shows with wide lexicons.
2. 2
   Use different languages and use proper diction. For example, instead of meet, say rendezvous. Instead of like, use for example.
3. 3
   Don't be tempted to insult others. Don't say stupid or idiot. Say imbecile or don't fight at all. Say the argument is far too trivial and you could be using allocate your time to wiser activities.
4. 4
   Do not use contractions, fallacies, or slang. It is improper and far from correct articulation. Instead of using 'dude', address the person by their name. Instead of bro, say brother or once again, speak to the person with their name.
5. 5
   End sentences in rhetorical questions. �Warning: Do not always do this. You will start to sound ignorant. It may seem as if you were asking a question, not proposing to give the answer.
6. 6
   Use your vocabulary regularly. You can bury it in the ground at home and say "Dad" or "Grandpa", but when you wish to, say, "Father" or "Grandfather".
