I encountered this word quirk, from our instruction for the project #5. I did not understand what it meant, so decided to search it up on Merriam-Webster. After reading the definition and reread the sentence where I got it from, I still quite did not understand. Because the meaning and the way it was used was ā€œnot fitā€. I hope the professor explains it after maybe if she read this post, however I am guessing that it will not be any time soon.

prerequisite

Something that’s necessary and required prior for something else to occur.
I first heard of this word when I had attend the registration workshop. I also learned about it there. But last week during English class, the term had also came up when Prof. Rosen quickly mentioned classes and registration. Some classes are needed before others is what this means in college terms.

vehement

adjective

: showing strong and often angry feelings : very emotional

I encountered this word from one of someoneā€™s bibliography: ” Fruit Street Sitting Area”. In my understanding to this word, this word has kind of same meaningĀ as madness or angry, instead of these two words, I’ll try to use “vehement” next time.

illuminati

noun plural

  1. capitalized : any of various groups claiming special religious enlightenment
  2. persons who are or who claim to be unusually enlightened

source:Ā Merriam

I encountered this word from one of someone’s bibliography: ” The Advantages of a New Perspective: A Literary Walk in Brooklyn Heights”. I know “illuminate”, but never heard about “illuminati”. Most people don’t know this word because this is not aĀ universal word, so I put it as one of my glossary to let more people learn the meaning of it.

Bucolic

I encountered this word from one of my article that I used for the bibliography. I mentioned in the glossary, because I thought it would definitely help people who is reading it. I also picked up this word, so that I can also learn form it. Over all, I posted this vocabulary to help me and my peers so that our English language could expand.
