I blame this on a fellow Aspie who now goes to Western Oregon University in Monmouth but "Theoretically" is now one of my favorite words.

I was more excited at seeing this thread than you could even imagine, but I'm now I'm having trouble choosing. So I've just selected my favourites from my recent blog entries...

non sequitur - a statement having little or no relevance to what preceded it (useful in discussion)
rhetoric - the study of the technique of using language effectively
pulchritude - physical beauty
pragmatic - advocating behaviour that is dictated more by practical consequences than by theory or dogma

Favorite words: "Necrotizing Fasciitis".
Also:
mandible
perpendicular
stellar
inimitable

I also love saying foreign words or speaking in a foreign accent. Is it odd that when I read aloud to myself, I read in a British accent? Of course it's odd! But it's great!
