Starting today I will be sharing a list of 26 words from the wordlist which I had used for preparing for GRE.
The rules of the competition are simple.
- Use as many words(those in uppercase are the part of the list) from the list below in a para that will stitch words together well so that it tells a story, makes it funny and easy to remember these words.
- Use at-least 10 words from the vocabulary list.
- Use the words from vocabulary list in uppercase so that it is easy to identify them in your comment.
- The wittier your paragraph is better the chances of winning.
- The comment with most up-votes will be the winner.

Disclaimer
I will also be participating in the competition as I am also trying to improve my vocabulary. So you got to beat me if you need to win. Since the comment with highest votes win I am assuming that this is fair enough. If you think otherwise please let me know so that I don't consider my comment as an entry.
Though it was difficult to GAUGE the extent of harm one thing was clear. Inspite of the president's EARNEST request the DARING few ELITES had formed a CABAL. How could they ABASE themselves to such a low level is something that no one understood. It could as well be a FABRICATED story or a case of a NAMELESS author going overboard and using JARGONS to confuse people. Though the RABID responses to the article in TABLEAU was censored and their emotions PACIFIED, the progress made had to be SACRIFICED.
