SAT Prep at bookofjoe
The penny dropped yesterday (Friday, November 24) after I reread the 2:01 p.m. post about the Brioni pleonasm.
If I were in high school now I'd be a bookofjoe subscriber just for the vocab links.
Can't help but get smarter if you click to the definition/etymology/etc. of all the unlikely words/terms/phrases that pop up here for no apparent reason, out of the quantum foam, as it were.
Nice price, too, compared to Kaplan and the Princeton Review et al.
Where was bookofjoe when I was trudging through high school in Milwaukee back in the day, is what I want to know?

Your vocabulary is just one of the many reasons I keep coming back.

This kinda thing was my SAT prep, apparently. Was handed the following by a relative on turkey day -- a "remember this?" kind of thing. In fact, I suffered quite a LOT of handing out and remembering of things. Ah, eighth grade....I don't seem to have changed one iota....
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent certain unalienable rights -- among these are life, liberty, and the proposition that Brutus is an honorable man. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to form a more perfect union, establish justice, and bury Casesar, it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we do ordain and establish the brave men living and dead who struggled here, deriving their just powers from the consent of the lean and hungry look. Prudence, indeed, will little note nor long remember that our faults are in our selves, not in our stars; the evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their domestic tranquility -- for ambition should be made of sterner political bands. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to ourselves and our posterity, that this nation under God art in the coffin there with the Constitution and I must pause till it shall seem most likely to have a new birth of freedom and shall not perish from the United States of America.
