It’s important to read to your kids but not too much lest they start saying words like “perchance” and “undoubtedly”
in sixth grade my teacher called my parents in to school because she thought i’d plagiarized a book report because i used the word “hence” and she didn’t think i was smart enough to know it
I feel this anecdote, because when I was about 13 I had a teacher who thought I’d made the word “behemoth” up when I used it in a story
