Are you a logophile? Basically the word logophile means
word-lovers, most of these people are professional writer author or scholars.
In business communication class
Apparently in our business communication class vague and
obscure words should be replace with common and easy to understand words, but
yet there are words that could be useful to us in our career for these words
sound eloquently, these words are helpful in communicating and we could impress
our clients, colleagues and bosses in our field but yet there are a lot words
that should be avoided. Here are some business terms and words that I found
online and words that might be useful in our program and in our career:
Wroth: Synonym
for anger (usually use as predicate)
Ex: The boss was wroth when he saw the employees slacking
off.
Quomodocunquize: one who tries to make money anyway possible.
Ex:
As a business student at Sheridan College we have to be quomodocunquize.
Impecunious:
having no cash or money.
Notophile:
one who collects bank notes.
Retrench: to cut down or to reduce
A lot of these dreaded words are very hard to remember there
is less chance that you will come across with these words however, the use of
these words make your letters, memos or emails sound formal, professional and smart.
Here’s one more obscure word that can be useful in
describing teens and their addiction to vampire movies like twilight:
-Necrophilia- means attraction toward corpses
Please comment or personal message me if you come across
with other useful obscure words
