Using it is a good way, the more the better, and sooner rather than later, but that presupposes that you have some use for the word.

In the case of what I call the type-3 word, that practice may raise some eyebrows In further answer to unci, I keep a notebook beside my PC and a pad at the head of the bed where I record it when I encounter a type-2 that I'd like to use more often

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??

by writing a sentence containing the word is in my experience a very good way of fixing the word. incidentally what are class 2 or class 3 ( and certainly class 1 ) words

Parboly Dale could splain it mo bettah than me, but a Class 1 word is one that purty much ever one could unnerstan; a class 2 word is one that you kinda gotta have some book-larnin to git an a Class 3 word is one that has ever body scratchin they heads as to whut is that feller talkin bout.

Hey, finally, I get it now. Sorry Dale, but your answer meant nothing to me. I figure the http thingie meant look it up somewhere, but could not get the whole thing into a google space correctly. Unless there is an easier way to go to that spot without typing it all in a space, and being still less than 2 years on the computer, I do not know how.

Pretty cool. I love astronomy. Did not quite get all the
math-linked ideas, but that's OK. Dale's link (or whatever
it is) is sort of like that, yes, thanks for the
simile.

But in this case Dale did not complete his search so you'll get to the point where he got stuck. That 1.2.3. thread must have jumped the Hubble limit.

Forgive me guys, my bad. I had thought I was conducting a search on
type-1 type-2 conversation
, but for some reason my link didn't work, sorry, I should have tried it after posting
" ...an a Class 3 word is one that has ever body scratchin they heads as to whut is that feller talkin bout."
Fal, your def is pretty accurate but I'd add that the type-3 might be considered snooty in everyday conversation

Sometimes I love snooty. The other day during a very tedious
conversation with some folks who knew next to nothing about the topic, which was the value of the jury system,
I tired of it all, and said I was really against it, and what
we really needed was a monarchy, and that I was available
for king. Really stopped them short.
But thanks for the update, Dale. I was lost for awhile.

Luke, good one
I suppose "monarchy" is type-2 if "Royalty" or "throne" is its type-1
..where I suppose "prepotency" or "sovereignty" might be considered type-3

Something scares me about "prepotency". However if it is a
type 3 then I can use it without anyone knowing what it means.
What does it mean?????

the general, non-technical, meaning is simply predominance.

Is indicating the obvious not also a type of redundancy?
( posts become very quickly undeletable since the last change ) How about a little interesting new topic, PT?

Yes but did it offer a correct spelling

That's a myth Dale, a legend, a fairy tale . Nothing better for good health than a proper infuriation at the right time. No herbal infusions or meditarations can better it.
Specially in cases of provoquation. But.. all things pass.
