Okay, so we've done bad grammar, things that really annoy you and the Escape Goat thread.
But what about words that you really like because they sound and look good?
My favourite word is "frock".
But I also quite like "contiguous".

I did once use the word floccinaucinihilipilification in a letter. (The letter was to a City law firm and I was referring to the quality of the advice they had provided. I think we got charged an extra £350 for the time it took an associate lawyer to find out what it meant but I did get a drink out of it.)0 -
