I want to thank you.  Your post inspired me to recall a similar observation about something I only knew of experientially until my late wife taught me of a word...

Petrichor...

Petrichor, I'd say it takes a special kind of person to be aware of such a word. This is the first time I've heard it. It almost feels as though some of these experiences are not even meant to be put into words, although I suppose can with a little effort.

I recall my early days of AOL(from the other thread), and online forums like this one. The vocabulary that some of those users were using was at a whole other level. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time looking up words, and I may have even been using an actual dictionary, remember those?
