Okay, this thread started out simply enough. Dumb people who use big words incorrectly to sound smart. Then it went off on a tangent against anyone who ever uses big words. I am sorry but I consider myself a smart person. I mean I am not big headed or conceited or anything. I know the meanings (albeit not always the spelling or pronunciation) of many big words. Dictionary.com is my best friend. My point is I never intentionally talk down to people but I also am not going to dumb down my words just because YOU don't understand. Its times like this I like to point out the highest grade of english I ever passed was 8th grade.
