Re: Ask Anacardo about his personal life!

Eff the haters, I agree with this. Anacardo, you're obviously a smart dude, but seriously the vocabulary can be a bit much sometimes. It's not because I'm stoooopid (I don't think so anyway) but rather learned a long time ago that writing at an ~8th grade level conveys one's feelings more simply, gets one's point across most effectively, and stops people from getting confused and/or tuning out. Nothing personal, yo.

Tee Yoo Queue,
If someone's smart, they can find a way to lightly sprinkle in the fancy vocabulary when it's apropos or even necessary to convey your thoughts. When it's laid on too thick, it comes off as elitist, pretentious, and tedious. Too much of this good thing is definitely bad, and I agree with you.
Anacardo, you're clearly a smart guy with capable wit, but sometimes less is more. Especially on internet forums (see: my pretentious use of apropos in lieu of appropriate).
