"I love words. I regularly encounter new ones and look them up. Language is something I've always loved. If people think that makes me a wanker than so be it; I'd rather sound like me than have to nitpick over every word and phrase I use on the forums just in case I use a word that might be obscure to some but not to me." Amen, sister! I don't use my vocabulary to impress people, I use it because the words I know are appropriate to the conversation I'm having. Flashing boobs also helps, to be fair, but if I'm flashing boobs, I'm probably too d*unk to remember half my vocabulary list anyway!! | |||

"It's difficult because some just have a wider vocabulary and its just the way they speak. I would never insult somebodies intelligence by deliberately dumbing my vocab down (not that it's huge compared to many anyway) and I really hope nobody would do that to me. Celebrate our rich and varied language
Although I do love linguistics and everything, it's pointless if you can't communicate. There's really no point in words if you're not being understood or listened to.
I hear cunning lingusts get to the point quite well "Dab nammit! Knew as I was reading down the comments that someone would have beaten me to this haha. Gotta love a cunning linguist | |||

I'm the same So many fascinating words out there! Even if I don't always remember them the next day haha. I love looking at where the word originated from too.
OP I totally get what you're saying though. I laugh at myself sometimes as I have to go and Google something. | |||

"So I've just received a well written and complimentary message and I want to reply, trouble is the sender has used words outside of my vocabulary range and I don't know what the hell he's saying. I'm fairly intelligent and not a complete dunce, but I do sometimes struggle with big words
Anyways it got me thinking.. Am I the only thicko here that reads a message and is like..
pardon?! "that's the beauty of the techno world we live in now though you can just google it, I'm pretty good with the written word but sometimes I think the odd few on here like to impress and a sentence can be lost ,I enjoy seeing the odd word I'm not sure about though xx | |||
