Sometimes they'd ask what it meant, other times, they'd just shrug their shoulders, roll their eyes and point with their jaw, as if to say: "Yeah, he's always like that". Anyhow what is your definition of a type2 or type 3 word??? Length of spelling, number of syllables, maybe?? ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: how do you usually remember a new word???
