Is it bad that I don't quite understand certain sentences with your usage of fancy words and whatnot?
English
-
He does so in an underhanded way to make you feel stupid, he obfuscates his meaning using incredibly long and complex words, when he could have easily portrayed his meaning using simpler ones.

I wouldn't call it an obfuscation, nor would I call my diction overly complex. The longest word in my post is "encompasses." Like, really? Are you insinuating that this is overly esoteric? Words like "depravity," "regressive," "schism," "encompass," "substantiate," "reflection," or pretty much any other term I've used that may have lead you to think that I was attempting to deceive through obfuscation, are not very complex. In fact, words like these are essential in effectively communicating the intentions behind a given discourse, as they can elaborate these intentions in a concise manner. My vocabulary is nothing special. Your criticism of my word usage is erroneous, or at least, may be a result of an insufficient vocabulary.

I don't feel as though I used very many "fancy" words.

Can you imagine how retarded I am? :)

[quote]Can you imagine how retarded I am? :)[/quote] You aren't retarded because you don't understand some words. There are words that I don't understand, does that make me a retard? If you ever read something which you don't understand because of a few words, you should attempt to understand it through using the context which the word in question is in. If you can't understand it, you should look up the definition. There you go, you've learned a new word. Reading a lot helps too.

Don't worry about that! I always do that! I try to broaden my English vocabulary, you know? So it's nice to come across new words which I may then use also, if I can remember them. :)
