All the credit for this goes to Tyler Vendetti, who published a fun and fascinating article on the Hello Giggles blog. I just created the poster version below.

Go read Tyler’s post. It’s fun.

    Hi,
    I like your articles.
    I am curious how you chose your words for this article.
    I have rescued and given forever homes to hedgehogs in the past. I have written for the International Hedgehog Association.
    I understand I am an oddity at best. But I am always happy to see little hedgehogs mentioned, and learned a new word that I do not believe has ever been in any of my stories and articles.
    Have a great day.
    Sincerely,

      Thanks, Darlene. I didn’t choose the words. Tyler Vendetti did for his article on the Hello Giggles website. I just found it fun and interesting and created a graphic version to share with my readers.

      I wonder the same thing though–how did he pick these particular obscure words?

    Useless or not, they would make excellent spelling words!

    Actually, I’ve used the world aglet before. (I was writing a paper about shoes, believe it or not)

      I believe it. That’s actually one word I’ve heard of before — on another list of obscure words for things we didn’t know had names. 🙂
