If two people can carry on a conversation, and one is babbling non-stop, and the other is using sock puppets, more power to them. Me, I prefer to communicate with someone who has a LITTLE bit of a sharp mind and wit, but more importantly, communicates BACK to me. One-sided conversations never go anywhere. Jace, I would really like to witness that conversation. I DO have sock puppets... (don't ask why. . . ) we need to talk, babe. I'll be over later. I'll bring my thesaurus. |

I just use what seems like the right word to me when I talk and people have accused me of using big words. I mean, sometimes they are only two syllables - hardly "big". I can't help how many words I know and I have no way of knowing how many words the person I am speaking to knows. So how do you know how much you have to dumb it down? Why can't I just use the words that make the most sense to me? 
I kinda have the hots for you too, sweetie.

than the average person. When you first meet someone, how many times do you think you need to point this out? Or do you really think it's necessary to insert the bigger words that mean the same thing into every sentence? I almost never try to use more advanced vocabulary into my conversations. Not only is it pompous, but it really isn't an indication of more-advanced intelligence- for all you know, the person might have just studied a Thesaurus or something. Indubitably.....

I believe that if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

And personally, I think it is rude to have to point out how smart you are. People figure it out quickly enough. I know U R smart..

Exactly! It always leaves me picturing the person sitting at home over their dictionary or what not memorizing every word they can, only if it's over 5 syllables!, and then taking notes on what words they could possibly use them in place of! does it occur to you that some people simply know a lot of words from reading voraciously, or going to college? Not everyone is a show-off. It seems a weird thing to pick on people for - are we supposed to pretend we don't know any words that you don't know? You missed what I was saying I think. I read voraciously. I understand the big words. I have absolutely no problem with people that use them. What I'm talking about here is something like this: Rather than saying, "I just had a huge fight." (Just an example, I know it's lame sentence.) They'd say, "I just had a gargantuanly negative verbal intercourse!" |

I'd have to laugh if someone said that to me - Why it's quite obvious that it should be phrased, "I've recently been engaged in a monumentally conflictive dialogue.".
