Some other words I like:
Entropy - permanent and irreversible loss of complexity in a closed system
Diaeresis - diacritical mark showing the separation and two vowel sounds into two syllables
Syncretic - belief systems based on the adoption of dogmas from several religions
Colophony - rosin
Albedo - the measure of how reflective a surface is
Cretinous - pertaining to persons with underactive thyroids
Tell me syncretic and cretinous have an etymological link... although I like ecumenism as an idea, if it weren't for the dogma part : )
I like growlery. Where one goes to groll.
As you predicted, I have been judge and jury. Not yet executioner, unless you mean euphamistically as one who implements.
I like epiphyte - a plant growing on top of another plant. And drudgery is an excellent word. I'm not sure I understood Diaeresis, I will look it up.
wow, diaeresis is wonderful, containing both itself and its opposite!
