Hapax legomenon.

Do you want to know the secret to increasing your vocabulary?

The English language is comprised of nearly 1,000,000 words. American journalists, apparently, use merely 6,000 of these words regularly in newspaper articles. This is hardly 1% of what’s available!

Don’t you want to use more than 1% of this rich language?

The solution is here.
