Are you an English teacher because you are definitely good at it. Your post introduced new vocabulary to me today like connoisseur, some of those words are not just English, Latin and greek, there are also French words like this connoisseur

Yes, I was an English teacher for years, mostly in Japan. I've also worked as an editor and writer.
I collected this Vocab-ability material when I was teaching, and eventually published it. (It made me NO money.) But now I can put a revised and updated version on Steemit, for everybody and for posterity. And hopefully I can earn a bit for my efforts.
Re your statement that some of the words are French, that's because they came into the English language THROUGH French. When the French conquered Britain in 1066, the French language became the major language of the rulers (and the ruling elite). As a result, many words of Latin origin passed from French into English.
Thanks for reading thru my post so thoroughly. I truly hope all my posts help you learn a little more, and maybe even polish up your English vocab-ability. ☺
I believe you are going to make more than what you didn't made when your published it before. And yes hopefully I will English vocabulary 😂
Yes, I've already earned more on Steemit than the $0.00 that I profited from the hardcopy of Vocab-ability.
Good luck with learning it all!!!
Hi, I have a new post you can help check it out. Thank you.
