Archaic Words

Was the task difficult? I do not know. Would you say easy? No. What about reasonably difficult? Maybe. I sense hesitation. Can you put it in your own words? Head shake ‘no’. Why not? Long sigh. What does task mean? Task. Chore. Mission. Three archaic words.

A wonderment of what word choices mean Caren. With most folks in the USA reading at a 6th grade level, who's to say what is archaic.

The dumbing down of the country is not complete yet, but boy, are we on our way! Most of the people I see only know a few adjectives. Great. Good. Easy ones.

Yes, and how some do not care about them at all or possibly ever hear them.
