Spare me the big words

Big words, long words, convoluted sentences designed to impress -- aargh! They make me so mad!

Who are you writing for? Academics!? Even the best of those folks write simply. Monosyllables speak so much better than those long-winded polywollysyllables. Aantlami? Nonsense and bluster is all it is. The real aantels write stuff that even class 2 girls in fountain-y ponytails can read. And then you can't call them aantels anymore, can you now?

what is a fountainy ponytail?

I so agree. Show offs is what they are. Sometimes I feel like they just put a whole bunch of words together but the sentence doesn't even really make sense.

@ Dreamy
Picture little girls in nursery. Ponytails on top of the head. Flaring up like fountains. Didn't your mommy tie you one of those?

@ Legal alien
Exactly. Thoroughly maddening it is. That, and fake accents that suddenly erupt when a firang of the opposite sex appears.
