GRE words in the unlikliest of places
The big test is tomorrow, and I have been doing well on my practice ones. After some practice essay-writing, I hopped on to the internet for my usual indulgence in Politico.com and gofugyourself.com It's a dangerous mix or brain-numbingly stupid arguments about smart things (on the message boards, that is), and a brain-numbingly stupid topic written about by clever people. Once I get sick of one, I'm ready to go back to the other. The Politico message boards have given me good practice in breaking down flawed arguments - fantastic GRE prep, but I didn't expect to get a boost from my other guilty pleasure site. Low and behold, this tidbit about Keira Knightly "I will say that, though maybe I'm just inured to her physique by now, she appears merely naturally thin and no longer as perilously bony as she did at some of the Pirates premieres." INURED, I was just looking at that in my vocab book. Spectacular. Now I definitely won't forget it.

People are usually injured with my physique, too.
