I use fancy language in a niggardly fashion.  ;D

True, though I would hardly take you for a man with very little to say!

I was challenged to a scrabble game a few weeks ago against my wife and her sister.  I gave them the choice to pick any dictionary in the house for reference and rather than use the little, bitty, basic, 100 page one they normally use, Deb went and got the twenty pound, 2000 page gem my father in law had in the closet.

It was bloodbath...I annihilated them...

I love Norm.  He and others started me on my love of English and having fun with it.

YOU (and I) are OLD as we remember who Norm was!

Ahh..Norm...my favorite quote of his...on death.


When I go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my Grandfather,
not screaming in terror like the other three people in his car.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

When speaking, I really love to use antiquated and sometimes arcane words......it catches most folks off guard, but maybe it makes a few think from time to time.  ;D

I have long known that I have a great deal of respect for you, Peg.  This post confirms I was right.

My Mother, moved to this country from Sweden in the early 50's. Learned English, and how to speak it properly. This carried over to my Sister and I. My Father, also spoke like an English professor, and slang and improper annunciation was not tolerated, and was corrected.

Having an expanded vocabulary, and speaking well, has been on a downhill slide for decades. Just like "clips" and "mags",...yes, we know what you mean, but it is "technically" not correct.

I am grateful, that those corrections, "rules" of grammar, and speaking properly, were part of my childhood. While speaking to an owner or Capt., Engineer, etc,.. of a large yacht, it is best not to speak like an idiot, and has served me well.

Although living in rural areas of NC, were always fun. ::)

See,,,, ya'll jus ain't got it strate yit...... When and if'n you do, go on and let us hold of some uh dat.... I Ain't need no damn learnin' any how.. Dis is Merica..

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

It's a machine shop, every one speaks reasonable English, and even the guy from the Phillipines is literate enough to know that Niggardly and nigger are totally unrelated.
You have to go to Washington to find someone that f*cking stupid.
