dalehileman dalehileman veteran Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 1364 Loc: Apple Valley, CA, USA	News item: Mobster wields vocabulary in prison letters to son ...Vincent Basciano.... some of his letters from federal prison...are full of such words as "thespian, "flippant" and "sagagacious.... coded message...? No, ...just vocabulary Basciano wants... --his 7-year-old son--to learn.... Basciano "enjoys using $10 words....' his attorney said. Thus the convicted mob boss is not all bad. What his representative calls the $10 word I call the Type-2 Join me in my quest to propagate the latter http://wordsmith.org/board/ubbthreads.ph...true#Post167207 _________________________ dalehileman
