As dedicated students of the English language and all its richness, we desire to develop, enhance, and hone our knowledge of and appreciation of the vocabulary of the English language. Through vocabulary enrichment, we will be able to communicate more precisely and effectively, bridging the gulf of attempted expression between one human being to another.
