growing up one of 8 children, my father encouraged us to use a larger vocabulary to improve our lexicon. We were taught to choose a word from the dictionary, and for the rest of the day to use that word correctly. Three syllable words were called five cent words, and we were given a bonus nickel. I had a jar full of nickels as a tribute to my furthered education and for my fathers inspiration. Later in life, he would smile when I would use a five cent word, and he would quietly hand me a nickel. Hence, our secret phrase was for a nickel I will.😎
