Everyone has a different vocabulary level and a different way of expressing themselves based on their continuing education and largely by what they read or watch. I use a lot of big words in real life and in writing. If you need clarification, then please ask for it - don't insult people by telling them they're just trying to show off.

Amen brother!

Damn.

I mean yeah, some people do try to baffle you with bollocks.

As Einstein said, if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.

If being "moral" means adopting the thinking of jesus freak assholes I'd gladly claim immorality.




Hello, Heathen.

He had it coming.

I'm sure some of those people think they ARE speaking simply. That's why you ask for clarification. If they refuse, it's possible they're being an asshole. There are a lot of Christians who like to confuse people this way. Most of the atheists on here are more than willing to come up with a clarified statement if you ask them instead of telling them they're being show-offs.

No joke, I'm genuinely interested in what disorder he reckon's he's got. Is it wrong of me to ask?

I find most people will be good if you approach them politely.

He said already up there ^^

"schiozaffective disorder"

I post how I speak. Most of the time. Also, it depends on the nature of the post. If I am arguing a point or debating someone, I choose my words very carefully. There are words that have nuance, that mean multiple things and fit what I am trying to say better than a "simple" word. I don't do it to impress anyone. Especially around here.

I say most of the time because I do have a tendency to speak a little more ghetto when I'm around my dad/brother. When we get going, my negro side comes out.

I think everyone tends to speak vernacular around family and friends. I sound a lot more southern at work.
