I had my English 101 professor tell me that "amongst" was not a word. She actually marked points off my essay because I used it several times.

Hi Susie!

Just getting in my quotidian ration of sesquipedalian verbage. I love words! Not to impress, but to enjoy.

When you hear "if you're so clever" or "if you're so smart", buckle up - it's about to get wild.

I feel like their village is roasting themselves.

If I were in your position, I'd feel proud actually

so ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so topographical and so feature

Honest question, have they, umm... heard of "school"? I swear it's not a made-up word.

In Germany some people get mad if you use words with more than seventeen syllables.

I just read "antidisestablishmentarianism" and "twat" in one thought-process and that somehow de-escalated something in my brain from a 100 to 0 real quick.😂

this is a countinuing theme

Usually I hear something like "Thanks, I was almost out of change" when I do that.

Give them 57.20 for a 17.20 total and watch them get confused

It happens when you don’t have to figure out what the tax is.

the level of insecurity of so so many people is astounding.

can't do that in the US as tax is added on afterwards.

Watch out ! Mr Calculator might count your water melons.

You would have been about 16 cents short in the U.S. lol

I always give something like $5.01 when the total is $4.76. Not to confuse people, but it is interesting how many have to think quite a while to process what's happening.

I like giving them an amount like 57.20 for a 17.20 total for example and watch them squirm

I had to pretend I couldn't read or write in 2nd grade...the teacher was angry child hating HAG who paddled me in front of the class because she caught me reading & writing cursive & we "weren't Doing That Until third grade"...literally ruined my education...I was afraid to be smart. Welcome to PS circa 1966 in Arkansas...

BWAAAHAAAHA 🤣

Is that Roald Dahl's french brother?

I'm really trying hard to imagine a "plate" face 😂 [Edit: FOUND IT FOUND IT!! https://preview.redd.it/72djloglrtf81.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=79b225a7b2111ca68cd66d1db9948b4a772b572c

this is not being teased more of the weirdest way soeone egot mad

Don't ever Dummy down...

I got my husband a shirt that said fight apathy...or don't. He went to pick up food and told me the girl at the counter liked his shirt but asked what apathy meant. Apparently he didn't know either. Good thing he's pretty

Take it as a compliment, and think how much knowledge you have gained as compared to others!

I assume the end of that sentence was - "with a sponge" I mean 9 year olds can be weird, but most of them are made to have a wash every now and then.

My eldest, when she was 3, started crying when asked to eat something she didn't like. She finally blurted out that 'it's disgusting'. English isn't even her first language, so hearing such a big word from a three-year-old made us laugh hard (and we didn't make her eat it).

I would have told them that the color "teal" derives from teal ducks, who have blue or green markings on their heads or speculums (wing patches) in most species. And I would have been called "Sheldon Cooper" forever after.

But 911/999 Dispatchers will 💜 you!!

A moribund treesloth could have done better.

One day...all it takes for a lifetime of scaring...

Maybe they are used to reading the Evening Substandard?

What does being the techincal director of a software company have to do with the price of fish? Software companies are rarely known for their linguistic skills. It's not a word I would use as it sounds pretentious, but it is just a variation on contemporary.

Phrenology - I learned that one from the Men at Work movie
