Saturation is not good for me

Norman Lewis, the author of Word Power, keeps pointing about how our vocabulary gets saturated as we get older. That's exactly the problem I am facing right now. Oh yes, words flow freely and writing articles does not need much time or work. However, there are no new words you can find here. Every word I can type in these articles here are the one's I learnt in my high school and to a certain extent my PU courses. I can actually go as far as saying that the sentence formation techniques have also remained the same. Some say reading might help solve my problem but I doubt that very much. You see there is a significant difference between learning the meanings of new words (or their roots) and knowing how to use them to frame sentences in a diplomatic manner. This is certainly not a good thing.

If you read through the editorials in your daily newspaper, you certainly come across words you never knew existed but using them yourself to write articles in something as informal as say your blog itself is a huge challenge. This is specially true to those who are very keen in pointing out others' mistakes. So here's a tip. The next time you are reading an article published by anyone, do try to look beyond the grammatical errors or shallow vocabulary used. Rather, try and appreciate the effort and the guts shown to write something. And one more thing, please do take time to comment on articles, thus letting me know if there is any sense in them.
