I’m almost embarrassed to admit this, but dictionary.com is often my best friend when editing. Depending on what industry my client is in, I may come across words that are not in my vocabulary. Yesterday I learned the words “gulag” and “paucity.” Paucity I had heard before but could not remember the meaning (smallness of quantity; scarcity; scantiness) and gulag means (the system of forced labor camps in the Soviet Union or any prison or detention camp, esp. for political prisoners). What new words have you learned this week?
