Implicit in the aforementioned word list, suffused with such verbosity and resulting in such bedlam amongst the locally domiciled, is the tenable intent to raise the standard of vocabulary of our 9 year olds to great eminence. It is pursuant to the objective of not having our offspring join the ranks of the navvy, in and of itself, worthy of plaudits. The powers that be, however, are indicted by accusations of intemperance, causing great umbrage amongst the piteous masses, with calls to action bordering on manslaughter! Whilst we should not allow swords-rattling-in-scabbards to beguile into demanding that our podgy administrators with their osseous policies be retired to more suitable pursuits like philately, it is unequivocal that some action be taken to restore our children’s diurnal patterns as opposed to accepting sleep deprivation.
The word list which is so deep that makes everybody cry father cry mother is to ensure that the students improve their vocab so that they can join their friends in the branded schools. Pity the ordinary people like us that we can only complain to MOE to request that they reduce the stress so that our children can good good sleep at night or else parents will run to tuition centres before our children got killed by their overzealous teachers. -

The other words don’t make any sense to me…even that word used several times just only reminds me of Yam Ah Mee. That’s it !!!
Manslaughter means no intention to kill. But this list of words has every intention to kill my interest in English…it is murder in first degree. -
Actually har, what is this Creative Vocabulary 6 book that the words were found in? Is it a book full of spelling lists, or a book full of examples of creative uses of words?

Waseh! If it is then double confirm that is one kiasu school. Even cover says \"Primary 6\".
Anyway, I wonder if somebody can read, then tell us what this book is about. Buccaneer is too parsimonious.
