Been thinking about vocabulary lately. Editing a story narrated by a girl "home-schooled" to be an elite thief. At first I cut any word that sounded "educated", because she's kept simple. Then it really got interesting as I started to think about the words she WOULD know, better than I: heist, secrete, surveillance, sentry. Rube, ruse, and mark. I wonder what shades of meaning she would hear that I can't guess. What difference booty, plunder, treasure, cache, loot?
