GRE Words

In studying for the GRE, I’ve realized that there a number of words that I’ve used wrongly for all of my life. This is a sobering realization. How many of us have used the word “insensible” to describe a particularly risky operation, never realizing that the word means unconscious? Sadly, I think I’m in the number of people who have.

Kudos will go to the consumed commentor who can rightly define all four of the following words:

• internecine
• expostulation
• depredation
• mendacious

Give it a shot. I’m attempting to do the same as I study for the GRE, so you’re not alone in your efforts.
