1=a very small word that can stop a world war its called "SORRY" But most people never use it when the should,and others cant use it for some reason. 2=a word that is very seldom used but it can move a mountain.its called " THANKS" BUT both words are in the top ten of the most famous words since time began.[: :][::] |

A very small word that no one understands. GOD. Thousands of different understandings of a word that only exists in one's imagination.

By:
won me a few points in quizzes over the years, as did pointillism.
|
|
By:
dendro means trees usually, so I'm guessing it is estimating the age of trees.

"propinquity" is a good one. Not a particularly big word, but very few people have heard of it.

By:
big words are almost without exception easy to understand
it is the small words such as Affect and Effect that are difficult |
|
By:
^ nobody gets that. in most cases the effect of affect has the same affect as effect
|
|
By:
i think it's affect if it is a physical thing doing it. A train has an affect, words have an effect.
or is it the opposite  |

By:
You effect a change (i.e. cause a change).
A change affects you (i.e. you experience the effect of a change. An affect is a rare (and rather pointless) term in psychology to describe an emotion. |

By:
not a long word but one of the most used,irratating words used especially by very young people is surreal,anything and everything is so surreal these days
|
|
By:
the most misused term in a sporting context (and others) is "average"
it gets used in a disparaging way but surely it is neither one nor t'other  |
