Oh all-knowing internets:
Today's assignment as posted on the Blackboard is
"Look at Punishmnet and discuss the choice of language -formal - infromal latinate or Anglosaxon register"

Which, okay. I've looked up those words and know what they mean.
How do I look up other words and know which slot they go in?

There was an etymological dictionary in class but someone lost it. Also I am not in class.



The world is full of interesting stuff I don't currently quite understand.
This is why I'm doing the studying. *nods*
