"Consanguinity"? "Sepulchral"? "Oracular"?
It's a rich language, English, and it is all to the good that writers use as many out-of-the-ordinary words as possible: they enliven and enrich us.
Try looking on it as a positive when someone challenges you by using a word you don't immediately know.
Use the language that you've been bequeathed. |
