 Buy an old dictionary.

A dictionary is like a history book for words and in these days where so many fear the written or spoken word, a record of what words actually mean.

So go out and buy an old dictionary, a big 80's or 90's edition from a second hand or charity store, it'll cost a few bucks.

Use it, read it (you may learn a few new, fun words) or just put it behind your livestream to look more intellectual, but have it.
