100 Words Every High School Graduate Should Know

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.
