jwjarvis I want to make a mind map of the entire book but it's frustrating since I can't make multiple starting points in one mind map. still learning May 10, 2012
chelster Hi guys, this is Charles Harrington Elster. Nice selection from my book, RitaG! I'm working right now on a companion to Verbal Advantage called Word Workout, which I hope will come out next year (2012).
FYI, rapprochement is misspelled above (no "a").
Re my creating lists — it's not in my contract with Wordnik, and I'm too busy recording pronunciations and writing notes, anyway.
Good words to you! Mar 8, 2011
jwjarvis i bought this book. rock on! Nov 18, 2010
mollusque Elster is Wornik's orthoepist (see the Blog, 12 July 2010), but he hasn't created his own lists yet. Aug 26, 2010
RitaG To Hernesheir, I obtained this list of words directly from a book namely "Verbal Advantage" by Charles Harrington Elster. He didn't have his list of words in an alphabetical order, so I used Worknik's page here to do that for me.
@Editing later, I thought of leaving you a link below, if you are ever interested in book "Verbal Advantage" by C Harringtone Elster.

@Mollusque above, thanks for the information. I just went there. I have half of his books in my home library. Aug 26, 2010
hernesheir I like every single word on this list. Now that's a first! Aug 25, 2010
