Big words!!!

I love when people use big words on forums to sound smart/try to prove a point. Using dictionary.com = srsbsnz. Post some big words to make people feel dumb, kgo.

The patronizing nature of complex lexical use to propigate often superfluous and or asinine agendas has long been not only the source of vexatious disquiet amongst the denizens of CoH but also a means of propitiating a hegemony that engenders division between those who discourse with an overbearing sense of entitlement and those who simply do not give a damn.

We have some operative words here. And some syntactic elements worth investigation.

First, are you sure they are trying "to sound smart"? Perhaps, it could be that they are actually smart, and that is how smart people converse with one another. I know not to whom you refer, but is it a safe assumption that their big words are merely obfuscating their intellectual dwarfism? Maybe, just maybe, it's who they are.

Second, is it possible that the people who "feel dumb" after reading "big words" are, perhaps, stupid after all? It would explain why they don't like the big words, wouldn't it?


Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Your statement implies the assumption that those who do not utilize a complex lexicon in dialogue about a video game are simply unable to do so due to a lack in either education or mental capacity; whereas, I would beg to differ.

Such an assumption is both condescending and overweening. Intelligence and knowledge do not yield wisdom and good courtesy particularly in a forum populated by players from a diverse range of educational levels, fields of study, ages, and locations. Anyone who has even a modicum of skill in writing will know that the best written communication is aphoristic, concise, lucid, and, most importantly, accessible.

Rather, Tam is implying that it is the sense of imposed egotism implied by those users of "big words" that is offensive NOT the size or complexity of the collocation itself.


i love lamp!!!!

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.
