Thread: Damn esoteric words.

You cannot imagine my contempt for your contrived attempts at scholarly jargon. Take your silly soliloquies and mangled monologues elsewhere.

You're a macroverbumsciolist yourself. You used soliloquy wrong, a soliloquy wouldn't be written, it's something that is private within a person's thoughts; only said out-loud so that an audience knows it.

Good luck cleaning up 1337 5p34k.

Internet acronyms are acceptable in small doses, I'd say.

Did you really know that word, or did you have to look it up?

I actually do use "lulz" when conversing with my friends, however, I do not use "think" instead of "thing" and "haitch" instead of "aitch". I am very perticular with things like this, it also being a joke I share with my parents.

As long as people capitalize their "I"s and never ever use "u" instead of "you" I am happy. Poor spellings doesn't bother me too much - since meh no gud at speelings - just as long as people use the right hynonyms - such as "their", "there", they're" and "your", "you're" - in the right situations.

I always mess up with the your thing. I never do you're, just your. Your never gonna know! Something like that. Some poster invariably accuses me of sucking at life. When I write things non-thread related I usually use almost immaculate grammer.

Pernicious - irrepariably damaging. Highly destructive.
Non Sequitur - Not logically followed.
Invidious - pretty much offensive.

I'll officially start a new trend right here and now... I believe it should be spelled: 8tch

hehe.

Here is one for you...

Pathos - the quality or power in an actual life experience or in literature, music, speech, or other forms of expression, of evoking a feeling of pity or compassion.

*note to self* Start "Word of the Day" thread at some point... (And not just use dictionary.com)

Now that is a good word. I'm going to start using it. It'd work as a Sith name, too. "Darth Invidious"

No, it sounds too much like "Nvidia". lulz

"I am Dath Invidious!"

"You're a graphics card?"

Nvidia?

Whoops.

Is it really worth it to upgrade your bios if your not switching to vista?

Ubiquitous - Everywhere, all around.
Abstruce - Hard to understand, esoteric =P. Recondite.
