I feel like I’ve lost my vocabulary. I can’t remember words. I have a glimmer of an idea of the word I’m looking for, and I search frantically through the thesaurus trying to jar my memory. I’m shocked at how many words I’ve come across in my casual reading that I don’t recognize. Granted, my casual reading frequently includes some of the most verbose authors in the English language, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.
