<p>I was thinking of a great way to study vocabulary on CC and I finally hit a light bulb. Since many of us spend a considerable amount of time on CC, it would be great for us to “show off” or use the vocabulary words that we’ve learned into sentences.

The rest of us can go through this thread and learn vocabulary words by using context clues -something that is necessary to know on the SAT.</p>
