Graduate level GRE vocabulary, constantly refering to the dictionary to refresh and solidify definitions not to mention unfamiliar words, but fascinating. Still in the intro reading the salient history leading to the Troubles. Not just a battle between Catholics and Protestants backed by the British

It’s a very complex subject. And yes - we have a lot of slang and use words that may be unfamiliar The education system is kinda over the top

I don't mind improving my vocabulary, there are words I use but honestly hard pressed to give the definition beyond a synonym, google is a godsend. Good read so far all in all

Good to hear that. I’m still researching words I hear - and I was a English Lit major 🤣
