It's one of those shows that just reading the script is fun, because they are written so well. When we couldn't buy Frasier DVDs (too expensive in Japan), and there wasn't another way to watch the show, I used to read the scripts in character and that was fun (my character impressions got pretty good, too). Sounds lame, I know, but it's more fun than it might sound. I personally love reading books and scripts aloud (with a friendly audience).

Reading a great suggestion, but like learning another language, unless you practice you will never get it. Try to give yourself a little time to think before you respond to people - not every time someone talks to you, but at times like a friend asking you how was your day, or trying to come up with a witty reply after someone has told a joke. Those kinds of small situations are great for strengthening your confidence in the words you use. And if you use a word improperly or pronounce it wrong, you won't be embarrassed in front of a crowd but hopefully someone can correct you.

Thank you all for the greatly suggestive insight, this immensely invokes my ability to learn. I believe a larger vocabulary will improve my ability to think more quickly and throughly. I think in english, so the more of it I know, the larger array of thought processing I can utilize to come up to single conclusions. I checked out every link posted. The word websites are really cool and helpful. The Fraiser episode was hilarious, and the concert by the Decemberists was pretty cool and funny, though a bit nerdy. I even downloaded a Google Desktop app thesaurus and dictionary, and daily word suggestion. Now I'm set. I just called off a bunch of work to set aside free time for reading and writing. I'm serious about this. A stronger vocabulary will help me with my career and daily life. And it might make up for the brain cells I've killed smoking weed from tin foil when I was young and moronic. Now I'm just young and stupid, which I'm almost okay with, but it's time to age my intelligence.

Thanks again! Maybe I can post what I think is an intelligent sentence, when I learn how to create such a thing, and you smart people can re-write it with even larger, more impressive words.

I'll begin keeping a journal again as well. That always helped me keep my thoughts together and in the back of my mind where they don't interfere with my "here and now" thinking.
