[handmade34]

I do that too, sometimes... so easy it must be wrong

[840high]

Phew! I was a marcom writer for almost 20 years. Feelin' a little pressure here to meet expectations

[Iggo]

Between being a humanities nerd and a prose writer with a love of arcane verbiage, I had this easy-peasy.

[3catwoman3]

I was hoping for better, but the ones I missed were words I had never even seen. Shopper that I am, I am surprised I didn't know #4.

making lucky guesses

[ZombieHorde]
