Realizing that Steemit is an international platform with users of varying degrees of proficiency in the English language, I thought it would be helpful to the Steemit community to highlight a useful English word, a word that will be applicable to their Steemit experience. English is a very expressive language. According to the Oxford English Dictionary modern English utilizes 171,476 words. Today’s word Hierarchy is only one of them, but fret not, I will be posting many more useful words, so stay tuned logophiles and vebivores!
