Epilogue,
Your intelligence is directly proportional to the tools that you have at your disposal. AND it is also increased by your skill and ability to use those tools.
Each word you know is a new tool under your belt.
Each use of the word, is a way to apply those tools under your belt.
The more words you know and the more uses you have, will allow you to be more ‘resourceful’ and that allows you to display some metric of intelligence proportional to success or desires.
Meaning, you can help more people by being able to speak in a way that they can better understand you and themselves.
As always,
