English Spoken Here

I'm having a terrible time getting anything started this morning. The thoughts and ideas are simply absent. Is that a function of age? Or plain and simple boredom. Ennui is a much better word for this condition; why don't we use it more often? 'I am suffering from ennui.' See? Doesn't that sound better than 'I'm bored.'?

I read that English now has over a million words in it. I believe it. Back in the day when I was child, I used to enjoy reading the dictionary. I probably couldn't even pick up the dictionary now!
