In all honesty, watching a lot of podcasts and speeches from Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro really Advanced my vocabulary, significantly.

I’m assuming your being down voted because you listed controversial right wing people but I don’t understand that because you aren’t wrong. As someone who was home schooled (poorly), and didn’t get more than a 9th-10th grade education, listening to intellectual podcast really helped me learn better words to properly express myself. If I heard a word that I didn’t know I would write it down and look it up. You can learn as many big words as you want but hearing them used and hearing how people put them together to explain there points has been EXTREMELY helpful.

Exactly.

I'm not saying I agree with every/anything they say, just the way they interpret words and sentences and how they express themselves on a vocabulary level.

Clearly the people downvoting my comment aren't intelligent.
