Bowdlerize, soliloquy, gerrymander, moiety, ziggurat. These are some of the words the editors of the American Heritage dictionaries recommend every High School graduate should know.
They have compiled a list of 100 words not meant to be exhaustive but to be a benchmark against which graduates and their parents can measure themselves. If you are able to use these words correctly, you are likely to have a superior command of the language.
