I think it’s always great to be precise with wording. Though I don’t consider myself a wordsmith, I try to: bestow the lexicon of my colloquies with consummate exactitude. But even statements like that don’t phase vocabulary-prodigies like Robert Marshland.
He is the winner of the National Vocabulary Championship, hosted at the New York Public Library. Here, the contestants must have a clear understanding of uncommon words and their differences; like the difference between what is simply underrated from a clear example of floccinaucinihilipilification (the estimation of something worthless). This competition is intense for contestants to not only know a plethora of words that are not commonly used in social discourse, but to react quickly with their answers to proceed to the higher rounds.
The winner, 18-year-old Marshland from Wisconsin, was awarded $40,000 towards college tuition and the title of “Most Challenging Person to Play Scrabble Against.” Read further about the competition and Robert’s road to success.
