Discombobulation.

A new word!
No no I like big words too, like I said, I use them, but not in the bloomin Caithness.org forum! I mean you actually put an accent over the e of beloved! If you dont get how to say 'beloved' without an accent in that context then you dont deserve to understand it in the first place.
I must say that although Melancholy Man has captivated my cognizance with his syntactical affectations, unfortunately, Pleonastic sesquipedality impresses no-one. It can, in fact, detract the reader from the quintessence, so, in my humble opinion, an anomalistic word should never be used when an aphoristic, quotidian word suffices.
Although non-prevalent words are, on occassion, requisite, they must be engaged sedulously as valid asseverations and animadversions can be vitiated by adventitiously selected semantic equivalents.

Aw shucks MM, I love ya really!
Have to say I am NOT uni educated but have a string of 'O' grades and Highers seein as some are comparin academic brilliance. I love words and if I see a word I don't understand I look it up. I think it is a great idea to use yer vocabulary if you have a good one cos what would be the point of words otherwise?
MM keep up the good work - I luv ya!

I was called 'crepuscular' on this forum a few weeks back.
I'd never heard the word, so restrained myself from punching the poster and looked it up. I didn't feel that the poster was out to belittle anyone or show some implied superiority by the use of a relatively little used word.
I like to learn new words, the mind should be expanded - not closed down.
And cheers Helen....I certainly am crepuscular!
