I often see this on Cops. Why do the witnesses always say
"...and I proceeded to..." (I went)
or "..to his current location." (over there)
C'mon, who are you kidding? You dont really speak like that.

Do you think the average person in South Central L.A. uses this language like this:

locate (find)
survey (search)
commenced (started)
originated (came from)
outset (begining)
persue (chase)
failed to (didn't)
apprehend (arrest)
take unawares (surprise)
determine (find out)
ascertain (be sure)

& military people do it
"the ordinance vehicle in front of which I am currently standing" (this car)
They dont locate thier posteriors a sofa & proceed to partake in a cold alcaholic carbonated beverage" They sit at home & have a beer.
Give me a break.
