i think its a defense mechanism for people who feel insecure about their poor intelligence.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

Arpikarhu Suketh Maximus, I think, is the correct scientific term.

i think its a defense mechanism for people who feel insecure about their poor intelligence. Because they use it as a crutch when they have no argument, they just weasel out by pointin out spelling and grammar mistakes and tossing in a couple fancy words.

i think its a defense mechanism for people who feel insecure about their poor intelligence. Because they use it as a crutch when they have no argument, they just weasel out by pointin out spelling and grammar mistakes and tossing in a couple fancy words. i call bulllshit. i dont change the types of words i use based upon my intent or lack of intent. i use those words because they are words that i use in my everyday life. again, i think the complaint stems from a insecurity over ones lack of vocabulary. The big words make you feel dumb. Not so much that you dont know what they mean, but that you dont use such words in your daily language. I dont care either way, and I do not judge those who choose not to expand their word knowledge and usage. the complaint and insecurity comes strictly from you.

Quote:Language is what seperates us from the beasts.
Wrong.
What seperates us is the ability to wrestle with the question of what seperates us.
It's been argued from the Greeks that it was logic that seperates us. Others thought creativity or reason. Modern linguistic experts think language.
Perhaps its merely the ability to ponder that seperates us. Whatever the case, your statement is inaccurate.

people could not wrestle with any question of existence without the language to do so. language is what seperates us from the beasts.
