A grandiose assertion, fair comrade!

Maybe 4chan isn't for you

There is a time and place for sophisticated language. You're probably being to autistic and using it at times where people find it annoying.

Sounds like you're a pretentious asshole, fapping over your own narcissism

Also have this problem, but I'm diagnosed with ASD. I'm also female, so my friends backhand insult me by saying, "I hate writers with a big vocabulary and who try to use the words when they speak." Then they go on to say stuff like the replies in this thread about being pretentious and such.

The thing is though, I don't even try to use big words...It's just the way I normally write/talk because I love language arts as somewhat of a special interest.

In fact, I always find myself having to stop and think before I speak so that I don't use any "big words", and it makes me feel like shit that I have to, or I get mocked...I've lost count of how many times someone will ask me what a word means.
Then I'll either get the pretentious speech, or "haha you're so autistic!"

Veritably so!

>>18549991
Indubitably. Pray tell, when is the correct chronological position for me to enunciate my verbiage?

>>18550047
I commiserate with your predicament.

>>18549939
Hm. It probably means you try too hard to sound smart. Talking at length about intellectual shit without much actual knowledge or wisdom, etc., or trying to hard.

>big vocab
I love my fancy words. Thing is, the rarer the word, the less likely people will actually know it. So, you only make your writing more inaccessible without much reason. Remember that shit about smart people being the ones able to explain complicated concepts in the simplest terms? Think about that.

David Foster Wallace has a really good essay on this subject. OP don't use a $30 word where a $5 one would suffice. Adapt my friend. There will be situations where you can't really find a synonym for a word but I've found that they're few and far in between. You do seem to want to come off as smarter than you are. A bit of insincerity...
