Only Page 5, Long Time Coming.

The definitions are by no means comprehensive, but serve to give a nice outlined, everything is fact-checked, but they are mostly my truncated definitions(which are parsed, sometimes thoroughly). Regardless, they're but a section of gorgeous words, there are 14 more Words Works Processor(I really need to go check out Open Office) pages. And I constantly update the definitions, having to correlate between my newest undertaking(Coolest Words, which is currently at 12/21 pages), and I have begun separating alike terms to maintain interest, mostly for myself, but a side-effect is that when I post the entire list, it'll look nice and be informative.
