100 Words Every High School Graduate Should Know published by Houghton Mifflin Company
No first - you probably need to take the list with a grain of salt - since it was published by a company that makes dictionaries :)
An interesting note - there are a lot of science/math words on this list - maybe they are trying to make a point about that.
That being said - I figured I’d see how I would do. I mean I finished high school. I even made it through college. I even manage to squeeze in a book here or there. So here are the words you can stump me with:
abrogate
abstemious
bowdlerize
circumlocution
deciduous
deleterious
diffident
enervate
expurgate
gamete
inculcate
lugubrious
moiety
obsequious
orthography
pecuniary
suffragist
tectonic
So basically I missed 18 words - that is a C+/B- land - bummer
