OK, I have the OP on ignore due to inanity, having witnessed his inanity on another site, but some of the burns on him here are comedy gold. I guess I should visit the inane threads more?

It's not about verbosity or brevity. It's about efficiency.

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.

Never use a diminutive word when a thousand pretentiously big ones will do.
