DO I HAVE ENOUGH VOCABULARY TO WRITE A BLOG?

I write a blog because I have the foolish notion that I can get ideas that are original, and to be perfectly honest sometimes they are, but not that often, but often enough.  I do a lot of reading and I sometimes find that in the articles I read there are many words that I DO NOT know their meaning. I will give you a few names of these authors and you will see they all write for the National Post. Conrad Black- Rex Murphy – Jonathon Kay and Barbara Kay.  I also read the Globe.Am I alone in not knowing these words ? Do you know these words?
