　　In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words ____1____ -- which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we ____2____ --, that is to say, from the ____3____ -- of our own family and from our familiar associates, and ____4____ -- we should know and use ____5____ -- we could not read or write. They ____6____ -- the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who ____7____ -- the language. Such words may be called popular, since they belong to the people ____8____ -- and are not the exclusive ____9____ -- of a limited class. On the other hand, our language ____10____ -- a multitude of words which are comparatively ____11____ -- used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little ____12____ -- to use them at home or in the market-place. Our ____13____ -- acquaintance with them comes not from our mothers ____14____ -- or from the talk of our school-mates, ____15____ -- from books that we read, lectures that we ____16____ --, or the more ____17____ -- conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular ____18____ -- in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual ____19____ -- of everyday life.
