-laughs- Quite. I'm always looking to expand my vocabulary, but they don't often give practical-use words. I mean, when am I EVER going to use "Eructation"?
'My, I do say old chap, that was quite an impressive eructation, eh what? Have you been practicing?'

Haha! That's great! Now I totally want to go to England and say that exact sentence to someone. :-)
