"The Vocabulary Builder provides a unique way of using words articulately.  A high school student of mine has used this software to help him impress his English teacher.  I use this software for the English courses that I am taking at my community college at the present time.  The way that Dr. Armstrong explains the usage of words quickens the learning of their use and meaning at any given time."

"While the computer age has broadened so many of our capabilities, it has stripped us of many of our skills.  High on that list is our ability for self-reliant communication.  We check our spelling electronically; parts of speech, syntax, choice of words are merely a push-key away.  People refrain from improving their vocabularies because it’s all there for the clicking.  In essence, we appear to be far smarter and more adept than we really are.  Yet we are fooling nobody but ourselves.  The Vocabulary Builder, Charles Armstrong’s labor of love, offers us a superior opportunity to expand our mind’s most important tool for human expression.  No, it’s not your laptop that you eagerly replace when its ability fails to match up with the times, but the cognitive center of your brain.  It too must grow and be maintained along side our technology.  The Vocabulary Builder is just that ticket."

"The Vocabulary Builder has boosted my confidence in expressing my ideas as a writer.  It’s written in a unique format that makes it effortless to learn and use new words.  I especially like how each word is used in multiple sentences.  It takes my understanding beyond the definition in showing me ways I can use it in my writing.  In addition, I’ve found myself intuitively using these words in my everyday speech.  The Vocabulary Builder has been a prime contributor to the improvement of my writing and speaking skills."
