FACT:
"Verbally-strong people are perceived as having superior intelligence, higher education, and gifted capabilities, even when it's not true.
Early research by The Stevens Institute, a New Jersey think tank, and many studies since then have conclusively proven that a large vocabulary is the most noticeable performance characteristic shared by successful professionals. Not physical size, not appearance, not financial backing, not family connections, but vocabulary. Fortunately, you can do something about your vocabulary today."
