Did Redwall teach you any new words?

[Osu]

I've wondered about this a bit. Have your forays into the Redwall world ever ended in a trip to dictionary.com? I recall looking up "sacophant" and "sabertache" in the past... just off the top of my head. Anybody else?

[Nightfire]

Yeah, I learned a lot of new words. I couldn't even begin to tell you all of them! I also began to like the general descriptive style of writing, so I began to subconciously incorporate that style of writing into my own book. Then when I actually realized that, then I realized that Mr. Jacques had been kind of a role-model for me and my writing.

Certainly. Despite always having an above-average vocabulary, I still found it amazing what I was able to learn just be reading a good story.

There are a lot o' thingz that Redwall can teach ye.

[Folgrimeo]

It taught me a few words, but "vittles" was the big one. Then I was talking to other people and they were surprised I had never heard of vittles or victuals before. Maybe I'm just not familiar with old-time words.

[Captain Tammo]

I learned tons of words, too many to list. I remember one of them was "rapier"

[Log-a-Log]

I learned so many different words for food- scoff, tuck, vittles

[Nightfire]

I just LOOOOVE old fashioned words!

[Tiria Wildlough]

I learned 'melee, 'maelstrom', and lots of other words. It is awesome.

I learnt "crestfallen" from Redwall. When I was younger, that is... Also, various words for food ("vittles", "scoff" etc) and different types of weapons.

When I read about damson wine in Martin the Warrior, that prompted me to Google "damson". Now I know what a damson is.

Thanks! It's supposed to be a picture of Nightfire, which is my latest RP-ing identity. She's a black squirrel, and is a Mercenary Squirrelqueen from the North.

It taught me some words. Usually I don't look them up, I just learn them by context. When I was writing I used the word draught without thinking. My sister didn't recognize the word so I had to look it up. It's the  U.K. spelling of draft, so I know I've learned some U. K. words and am now incorporating them in my writing.

Ab-so-flippin'-loot-ly!!!
