This makes me wonder also whether there is an effective limit on one's
vocabulary?

Consider all the words needs in one's profession and interests. In my
case that would include Real Estate, Engineering, Psychology, History,
Philosophy, Art, Advertising, Education, Computers, and now
Anthropology. Plus Sports, SF, Film, Music, Agriculture, Economics, and
the Occult (that wake ya up?). And so forth.

Is my jargon space getting filled up?

Like my library shelves?

Wanta buy some slightly used jargon? Going REALLY cheap!

Have a nice week-end folks!
