Graduate Vocab List

So there are words out there I find (mostly when reading) that just sounds cool. The one I ran across in my homework today is juxtaposition . I don't hear this work much. I thought I might like to use it more in the future. So I looked up the exact definition...or the definition of the root word.

jux·ta·pose:To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.

What use it is to say a complicated word like justaposition when I can say I compared the two....

What are some words you think I should use more (send the definition too)?

I was just saying last night as I was reading in Mosiah, that the word "thither" is quite nice. I don't have time to look up the exact definition... Can I get half credit?! ;)
