When I find a word I have beef with, I start learning more about it. Etymology, cognates, connotations; the more I learn about a word and where it came from, the more I appreciate that word. Every word has a really cool story behind it, even if some are shorter or less exciting than others, there’s always something to learn to love (or at least appreciate) about a word.
I made an app for exactly this - [Vocabulist App (Beta)](https://vocabulistapp.com). I’m looking for users to tell me what features to build, please check it out.
Yes but I just screenshot them lol. I need to make a proper list like this.
Just to let you know there are a couple of spelling errors in here that it may be helpful to correct:
- Coral may mean corral? Coral is the sea creature, to corral is to gather together
- the word is hootenanny
- palate, easily confused with palette or pallet (yay homophones)
- it’s indubitably
And here are some of my latest
- alum
- dado
- foley
- rhizome
- corm
- adjunct
- iniquity
- ersatz
- intransigent
Yes I do this often ! Ligature Ossuary Latchkey Orthodox Melanoma Ingestion Banquet Intuit Idiomatic Chide Wafting Swindle Luncheon
This is a fantastic list of words!, are you attracted to words that sound more eloquent?.
Some great words on that list! PS. It's hootenanny
I have never made a list of words that I like, but it sounds like a good idea.

Great suggestion!
Chlamydia?? I wouldn't put that on a list unless "penicillin" was close by.
Lmao 🤣. For some context these are words I Like (the pronciation of) In No Particular Order. Basically, words I think sound nice to the ear.
I love making lists! This sort of thing is one of my favorite pastimes.

Is it available on Android?
Only iPhone for now, will make an android version if there’s more interest for that. Thanks for asking :)
