What's with this forum's phobia of people using 'fancy' or 'shiny' or 'big' words? What does it say about us as a society where people are demeaned for using high level vocabulary? Too often I see certain members of this forum attacked for nothing other than using the vocabulary of a well-educated adult.

Tl;dr (Sad thing is, those three sentences are too long for some people): Stop getting pissed off because somebody made you pull up dictionary.com

Its because it makes you sound like a douche bag. Most the time the people who try the hardest to sound smart are the ones who aren't.
Its annoying to hear some fucking kid use his new vocab word constantly because he thinks it impressive.

The point of language is to communicate, to get an idea across. Using bigger words then is necessary only makes that harder.

See? it makes you look like a HUGE douche.
Who the fuck cares? like I said, getting an idea across... which every one else seemed to get.
Its almost as if... you had no argument other then trying to point out small irrelevant errors?

So long as the words you use help you convey your meaning better and don't cloud it, awesome. Content is key.

FM stop being a douche and using words when you write things

Its a very critical thread. We wouldn't want to appear stupid and loose internet rep.

Son, we live in a world that has words, and those words have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Uzique, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Uziques ban, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

if i was a girl i would get pregnant as many times as possible then have abortions after the third month of being pregnant so i would deliver a potato sized 1/3 developed dead fetus then i would take the fetus put it in a jar of preservative liquid and put it on a shelf in a secret room in my house and i would do it until i had so many the rooms were nothing but potato sized aborted fetuses then i would have a kid and when theyre bad i would make them sit in the fetus room and remind them of how easy i could have aborted their ass

Right. Someone explain to me wtf just happened.

This is my BIGGEST bet hate, people that spell "lose" this way, does my fucking nut in.

Ontopic, I use big words some times, although I don't do it to appear smart, or to show off, I do it so I'm constantly using my expansive vocabulary. If I find the meaning of a new word (Most recently, "quintessential" and "vociferous") I try and incorporate it into my speech, therefore cementing the use and meaning in my head.

No.

On the morrow I shall be most discomfited if my ideal means of vehicular transportation is in some manner hindered or mired. Moreover, I shall thus finally have adequate rationale to become irate.

As opposed to:

Tomorrow I’ll be pissed if my ride doesn’t show up. But I’ll have a good reason to be pissed.

What's the real difference? Apart from using twice as many letters and twice as much time?

Maybe I'm just ESL, but I think it's something to do with target audience. I'm not here to impress online anonymous people. Hence, I think that if you want to impress people on BF2s, it's your problem, not anyone else's.
