 This article lists the apparent 100 most beautiful words in English.

This article interests me because I noticed the words are not very common or widely spoken by youths. Such extravagant vocabulary like that, for some reason, doesn't find itself fitting into daily vocabulary. Reasons for this could possible be social media, on social media you are constantly shortening words to fit into limited spaces, or just to save time.

So, maybe this technique of shortening words to save time, has almost become embedded in youth's minds, causes vocabulary such as the ones listed in the article, to be more or less unused by todays generation.
