@David— Hornblower is an absolutely fantastic movie series by A&E. It’s a swashbuckling adventure series set in the Napoleonic wars, and starring Ioan Gruffud.

And… I hope I spelled his name right. The same guy that played William Wilberforce in ‘Amazing Grace’, if you’ve seen that one. Rosey asked because the name of Horatio Hornblower’s ship is ‘Indefatigable’. 😛

Hahahahaha! Oh, lovely, Ezra, lovely! What about your middle name? That didn’t get a place on the list?

Rendezvous… I just figured out a few weeks ago that it and the word pronounced rond a voo are one and the same. 🙂

Hm… I don’t like French words. 😛 Maybe because it also took ME forever to realize THAT word was the same as the one I heard people say as ‘ron day voo’. The pronunciation is crazy.

Another good one is Diaphanous.

Flamboyant.

@Jada oh my goats I thought I was the only one that did that! Rendezvous was one of the ones I did it on and the other was fatigue, I thought it was fat-i-goo!

One word that I used recently in a story is this… (Gotta make sure I’m spelling it right)
Batrachomyomachy. It basically means “making a mountain out of a molehill”.

Another one I love is paladin, which has been mentioned at least twice in this forum (sorry, 3 is my favorite number) and is also the name of one of my books!
