I learnt a new word today. / myLot

I was reading a certain book early this morning and I came across a new word. The word is 'dexterity'. You probably know it already, it is new to me. The book was claiming that there are no gender based house chores this days. They are just done according to physical limitations such as weight, height and dexterity. I looked up the word in my dictionary and it means, 'Skill in performing tasks, especially with the hands'. Do you love learning new words? What is your latest new word?

I know the term dexterity. I think it's rarely used. 'Skill' seems more common. What you've read, namely that there are no gender based house chores, is only logical, isn't it? Common sense tells you that. It's possible that there are men who want to tell you otherwise but they belong to the last century and should not be listened to.

Oh well, I remember that I saw the word 'divination' in one discussion yesterday. For me it is a new word.
