@mattypenny That's a nice list. 😃 I wish it was in alphabetical order though, and did you notice there are some empty items in it? For what it's worth, my favorite English words are stampede, motorcade, and defenestrate.

@mattypenny Brilliant! Now I see there's a few duplicates and maybe even triplets. Feel free to edit the original post though. Or do people do that? I see no problem if one just, say, reorders a list, corrects some minor mistake, or adds a link.

@ZeroOne yeah...for me (only), it's interesting either way. The original list is chronological so I can see, or imagine I can see, patterns of words now and again

On the other hand the repeated words are interesting. I deliberately never checked whether I was repeating myself. Some of the words are surprising, some aren't
