hey fuck you, i use this one

>had had

>as said in the foregoing

>>9524745
I do too because there's not another single word that works well in its place, I just always find it pretentious
if I'm writing casual stuff "as above", "as mentioned previously" and other semi-awkward constructions are all serviceable

>Whence
Whence does your frustration come from? Perhaps it is from between your callipygean hills.

>>9524766
if you're going to use archaic words go the whole hog or it just sounds off
>whence cometh thy frustration

>devoured
>delved

>>9524766
From is already part of whence. It ought to be "Whence does your frustration come?".

>And X and X, and X and X

ITT: Americans scared of looking uncool in front of their middle-school crushes

>>9525538

I think you mean:

The American-English lexicon is significantly smaller than that of British-English.

Culture of being retarded. It's that simple. Not that the rest of the world is significantly different btw

African American Vernacular Experimentation?

>>9525572
In the 1960's the American education establishment purposefully limited the vocabulary words taught and used in schools. The goal was to 'erase the differences' between poor urban youths and wealthier suburban youths.
>It failed
>In the decades since the US education system has continued to reduce the vocabulary taught and used in American schools, even removing literature from school libraries for having 'too complex' vocabulary
Americans are being dumbed down by their education system
