Erudition, fancy ideas and long words

[Melancholy Man]

Discombobulation.

[Metalattakk]

Well I for one welcome our new sesquipedalian overlords.

[Melancholy Man]

A new word!

[Kenneth]

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.

Discombobulation.

That is my absolute favourite word EVER!!

Although why I felt a sudden urge to announce that I'll probably never know

[TBH]

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.

I do hope you chewed that dictionary thoroughly before you swallowed it, they can cause all sorts of problems if they're not properly masticated.

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!

I prefer vespertine meself

OK, without looking it up, I'd say that that is 'waspish' or 'stinging'. (Italian 'vespa' is wasp).

Or possibly of the evening..as in vespers - the evening prayers.

Man northener you are crepuscular! Perhaps Sapphire is talkin of herself!
