Language

Lots of new language since I last posted a glossary update in May. Glossary would be too narrow a concept to continue to use now, I think. 

In general, he's using language more than he was earlier this year. Not just having more words.

There might be overlaps here between the earlier word list posts, because I'm not meticulously checking back and forth. I'm no longer spelling out all pronunciation quirks; just noting instances where he seems to consider the word to be different than we do.
