I hate the fact that its "unruly" to use words that may be uncommon but have really specefic meanings. It's annoying when I can use a word but it'd be seen as purple of me.
What are some books that ignore this little unspoken rule?
Most of the good ones
Nabokov is what you are looking for.

I hate that about myself.
People look at me strange as if I'm some alien when I use something outside 5th grade vocabulary. My friend told me that I intimidate people and that I can come off as cold. I was completely oblivious to this before I asked my friend what a girl I was crushing on might think of me. Fuck, /lit/ ruined my social life. Even in HS people referred to me as "school shooter" and I didn't think much of it, but only now do I realize the implications of that nickname.
