Read more, and use the built-in dictionary.

Actually, vocabulary size is closely related to age. According to the preliminary results at the site, vocabulary increases at about four words a day from age 3 to 16, and then starts to slow, and as adults is more like one word a day.

And from 50 onwards, seems to almost stop. Hmm.. I think I'll have to take my own advice.

Word for today: uxoricide. (It was new to me!)
