<font color="black" face="arial" size="2"><font size="2">I actually haven't formulated a real opinion on the SAT revisions. However, I have to say I am little forlorn at the idea of the loss of interesting SAT vocabulary. One of the most amusing times that we went through with each of our children was the tortured use of "SAT words" in casual conversation. Yes, my kids may have used some flash cards, but they also began to use a good many of the words in writing and in conversation -- sometimes appropriately! ;^) <br>

I love Jane Austin. I love obscure vocabulary, and I love this opinion piece: <br>
