Freshman vocabulary trends.

Three years ago and then again this year, I noticed that the freshpersons at the school I go to latch onto certain vocabulary words and use them a lot, specifically the word "duality".

They called me out for using the word "cognizant", though - one person didn't understand it and then someone gave me the synonym "aware" to use instead - so I guess that that latching onto certain words and making a habit of it is something that happens to everyone.
