If you photoread a dictionary daily for a couple of weeks along side with your efforts at writing you won't actually have to activate the dictionary. You'll think of a word and look it up on a as needed basis.
Consider also photoreading a thesaurus daily for a couple of weeks. Again actual activation is reduntant the words will show up as you use them. If you happen to glance down a page of a dictionary you will notice that you are very familiar with 70 to 80% of them anyway and to use those obscure 20%in your writing won't actually help you be a better writer. A good writer writes so that the majority can understand the message that the writer is intending to convey.
Of course if you want to write scientific papers you'll use the jargons from the community to make you sound absolutely brilliant to the layperson and sponsors.
Don't you just love it when someone writes?
The fowel emitted a discinctive sound in the range of 35 to 40 decibels only to reveal upon arising that it had left behind an ovoid calcium based object of a deceptively hard nature yet vey thin and fragile.
As a photoreader I do prefer the phase, "the hen squawked and got up to reveal she had laid an egg." Much easier and faster to get the drift of what the author is talking about. Of course if you photoread my post first that previous paragraph probably had more meaning than it would have with a regular read though
