It has occurred to me that we have seen something of a decline in the operating plane of multi-syllabic and nigh obfuscating verbosity in the fibers of communication that comprise the GB.

I suggest that we foment and promulgate a modification of the status quo, in which the representation of complex and needlessly impressive verbiage is more commonly employed by our many transient purveyors of provocative text.

I further suggest that we begin this process immediately and forthwith, brooking no delay.
 
I think you've forgotten that at least half the people here are total idiots that didn't or just barely graduated high school.
The other half might be on your side though. Hell, might be a good way to weed out the non-hackers.

I am summarily in favor of any measure that may seperate the wheat from the chaff in matters involving articulatory aptitude.

But I have not been remiss in my estimation of the capacity of the mass of postulants in this matter. I thank you for your concern.
 
Verbiage for the sake of extensiveness is simply pretentious.

There's a third contingent (and a large one here at Lit): the type of person who writes like this in order to mask the fact that they're social retards who, in reality, know very little.

Undoubtedly this is the case.

However I propose that the former comes with greater ease if the latter does also happen to occur in accordance.
 
The Secret Of Impressive Writing? Keep It Plain And Simple

Writers who use long words needlessly and choose complicated font styles are seen as less intelligent than those who stick with basic vocabulary and plain text, according to new research from the Princeton University in New Jersey, to be published in the next edition of Applied Cognitive Psychology.

This implies that efforts to impress readers by using florid font styles and searching through a thesaurus may have the opposite effect.

Pretentiousness for the sake of amusment is an elevation of language to the point of art.

Excellent.

Do be a blessed poppet and point them out should they choose to participate in our exercise, won't you?

We are not writing a novel for publication, merely spinning a fiber of thought with which to pass the time.

Your personal impressions, while important, are immaterial when taken globally.

Then it's not for he sake of extensiveness but context, in which case I'd agree though I'd hesitate to call it pretense so much as jocoseness.

This is true. I've found that the easiest way to spot a moron is to look for people who are obviously trying to use $5 words. More often than not, they're hiding something.
There are those that do have a large vocabulary and choose to use it but they are usually easy enough to spot because it's done in a very casual way.

I think you have demonstrated with sharp clarity that you posess neither of the aforementioned qualities.

Good day.

That would take forever. 40% of all forum regulars fit the description.

MC doesn't do this, though; he wears his ineptitude and petty annoyances on his sleeve. That's the reason he's entertaining. :cool:

I cannot find it within myself to disagree with that statement.

However I may be persuaded to apply lateral pressure to the outermost manifestation of your nasal protuberance.

And utter an amusing honking sound as I do so.

So noted.

I thank you for your assistance in this matter.

It matters not if you are spinning this thought through the use of printed text or through oration.

Usage of flowery speech and large words unnecessarily has been found to give others the impression that you are less intelligent than someone who speaks normally and uses larger words only when necessary.

But hey, if you don't mind that others feel that you're intellectually stunted and pretentious do please carry on.
