I was pret­ty young at the time, in ele­men­tary school. And I remem­ber we had these week­ly vocab­u­lary tests…ugh, not my favorite thing. The teacher would give us a new list of words each week, and we had to learn the spelling of each word as well as the def­i­n­i­tion. The most uncom­fort­able thing about the tests, by far, was that we couldn’t resort to just regur­gi­tat­ing the def­i­n­i­tion of each word and be done with it. (No way, life had to be hard­er than that… even in ele­men­tary school!)
