Welcome back to our circle, dearest readers. I must confess, I am in love with the English language. Though it can be crass and abrasive if used improperly, the words we speak and write in English can also be inspiring and angelic. It is not just the way these words are spelled and the way they look-though that does help a lot. It is also the meanings of the words. Though some are less complex, they are all still opulent enough to stand out from others. So please join me as I go through a list of 14 of my favorite words in the English language.

Traditionally, we think of the “speech center” for the brain as being located in the left hemisphere. In fact, over ninety-five percent of people who are right handed have dominant left hemispheres when it comes to speech (Kalat, 2013). It is thought that the hippocampal formation in the left hemisphere in the left medial temporal lobe plays a critical role in the lateralization of language. When a brain is young, the synaptic density is greater than it is in the adult brain. Progressive localization of function occurs throughout development as neural nets constrict, the number of synapses declines, and processing becomes more efficient (Knecht, 2004).
