Also probably some spoilers, but this is a historic novel, so can spoilers really exist for things that have (for the most part) actually happened

I write any new words I encounter down on my daily posts and then hope for the best. Going through the effort of writing each down does help me remember it better, and most of the time, the word will be popping up again in whatever it is Iโm reading so if itโs a common enough word Iโll eventually remember it that way. Some words are just too obscure to really remember effectively.
Iโm sure thereโs probably a lot of โnewโ words that keep reappearing in my posts.
