Subject: literary words



i find it strange that people keep refering to "waft" as a literary

word, which people are likely to have to look up in the dictionary.

is my vocabulary really weird? i'm pretty sure i use "waft" more than

"raft" (dinner smells wafting, graceful people wafting). maybe

that just says a lot about my lifestyle. (of course, i probably hear

"raft" more--on airplanes and such. or maybe not, since there they

have "flotation devices".)



wafting through cyberspace,

lynne
