No, it isn’t. And let me just say how bizarre it seems to me that you logged in to a thread where there were dozens of pages of granular discussion of the renowned economists and social theorists of the 19/20th centuries and started complaining about a guy using 4-syllable words.
If I told you, young man, that you should join together with us to chase the scourge of property ownership over the mountains, across the sunkissed plane, and as far offshore as we must to see it swallowed once and finally by the blackness of the western sea, then you would observe that the words still ring in that unmistakeable Haghstull key despite the absence of any of those “uncommon” words. What I mean to say, my friend, is that I just can’t help it—the way it spills out.
