One of the useful things about reading anything is expanding your vocabulary. How the fuck are you going to learn new words if you don't read them then look them up? The fact that some people here might have a more extensive vocabulary should be seen as a good thing, because it might teach you idiots something new. I seriously doubt there are too many members who have a thesaurus open when they are typing. To be honest I am more concerned with the people who can't type out complete sentences and/or correctly spell everyday words, even if it is just on an internet forum.

especially in D&ST. I can't respect your argument or even take you seriously when your grammar is crude at best.
That's because a forum post is supposed to be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the essentials and short enough to keep things interesting. Nobody wants to read a wall of text when it could be summed up in a couple of sentences...Hurricane2k9 wrote:

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

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.
Edit: Not a shame edit. My mistook was spotted by surgeons.

If you've got big tits, you flaunt them.
If you can speak the language of Kings in the proper manner, you flaunt it.

Well, the people on this forum who type like that come across as douches, not because they type like that but because of what they type. I honestly don't care whether someone types like how patton spoke or if they have a more extensive vocabulary.
I could type like that but I couldn't be arsed really, besides this is an international forum in which for many english isn't their first or best language. If I type something I want people on the other end of the internet to be able to understand what I'm typing rather easily without them having to open the dictionairy all the time, ya.

It's not my job to teach someone new words, if they want to understand the language more, I suppose the best way is to take more lessons in said language.jord wrote:

Personally I think it makes debating harder.

it makes it hard to jump into the debate when the fist page is a wall of text. It only takes a few sentences to get the point across, some people should try it.dayarath wrote:

Maybe, but seeing the language used in a debate gives you more of an idea about the tone, context and what it means. I guess it's for people who want to further their language skills. Sure beats a picture of a Cow and then the word "Karova".dayarath wrote:

Yes I tried learning Russian like a year ago, loooooooooool.
not my job to teach people that. If you want to further your language skills (i.e. you're already at the point where you can debate at a reasonable level, but want to improve) you will most likely be taking classes. It's alot more effective than looking at what other people write on this forum here. And there's a chance you might actually pick up bad habits instead of good ones; trying to express yourself with the wrong words.jord wrote:

I'll be taking russian / arabic courses in the summer.
