If I didn't know a word, I would look it up. I still post inane drivel, mine just happens to come out in a stream of consciousness style that involves using words as they come to me. I assume that very few people on fab read the fora, read my posts or would even care if they did so I don't take the time to retype or reword what I say to cater for anyone else. I wouldn't be representing me then. Plus I don't assume the so-called masses won't understand my meaning; it's not as if I am especially intelligent, just someone who soaks up words. | |||

If I read a word that I don't fully understand the meaning of, I have a couple of dictionaries to hand. It has its plus and negative points though. On the plus side, you can find words that you have never even heard of before, on the minus side, you can forget what the hell you were trying to look up in the first place | |||

It's necessary to the extent that that's how the poster feels comfortable posting. I enjoy reading the variety of posting styles. Meh. Different strokes for different folks and all that. | |||

Oh I understand it...but don't think it's necessary and yes I do feel it's pretentious posting. Just my opinion though." Can we juxtapose a little? We berate criticism of bad spelling by the grammar police, so why would we berate the full use of the English language. Yes I understand your point about needlessly trying to impress, but reverse snobbery (not aimed at you op) is far more evident in the forums than the superior stance you refer to I believe? | |||

" On that we will have to agree to disagree to some extent But yes if I see the need for it..as in the post above yourself being a prime example of using the "big" words..it comes across fluent and concise to which I fully agree with. But as someone has said ..not the look at me posters for me. Meh | |||

If I'm honest I find your types of posts more boring than the ones you're criticising That's all good with me, do you think I'm bothered in the slightest what you think about my type of posts ? feel free to carry on slagging off people who care about correct English and work hard at school and uni to better themselves. I'm not one of them and my English isn't great but I'll defend there right to use our language right rather than resort to txt speak and gangsta talk yet they live in Norfolk Pretty sad when someone gets attacked for being intelligent " Dis railing but I think that's the most you've said in one go on a thread I like it, shows you. People's intelligence is determined by the words they use. Personally I'm dyslexia so I don't use words that I know and understand the meaning because I can't spell them and can't be arsed to have someone tell me I've spelt it wrong. However to tell me it's wrong they must have understood the post in the first place. | |||

"Surely only professional people use long-winded methods of getting a simple point across. Extrapolation is my word of the day Would you care to expand on that? " Yes I can actually, so there! Interpolation may be defined as an estimation between the given data or observations. On the other hand, extrapolation is a process in which the value is estimated beyond the specific range of given variable. It provides the estimate of the observation below or above the given values. Whatever any of that shit means is way over my head | |||

"I love full use of the English language. I would never assume I was able to judge the intent of another poster just because I didn't like their use of words, whether they use long or short words. That seems a little judgemental and egotistical to think I knew what another's intent was without even asking them. Ah there you go...your thoughts some up that you are judgemental by saying my thoughts when posting this OP to be judgemental and egotistical...when in fact the op was a little of a social experiment on my part to see the responses from varied posters on this subject. And to be honest I am enjoying quite a few I said 'seems', that's why words are important. " Oh I agree words are important to a forum and as in this case a simple little wording was misread. Now you will no doubt understand that in most cases we can be fluent enough in a simple few words that you used here to get your point across. Rather then doing it in pretentious posts that some do on here. I hope you understand that this is just my opinion on a open forum | |||

I hope you understand that this is just my opinion on a open forum " I still disagree that posts that are long or use long words are intentionally pretentious by default, which is implied here. I find that attitude to be dangerously bordering judgemental. And, if given the choice, I'd prefer someone to be a slice away from pretentious than judgemental. Just my preference | |||

"[Removed by poster at 17/09/17 12:47:12]" I think if people feel intimidated by the verbiage used by other members fail to recognise what is whimsical banter or a product of an education that provided that poster with a level of articulacy they feel comfortable using .. Basically what I'm saying ids if you don't like it that's your problem | |||
