On: Writing, Briefly (2005)

[throwanem]

In the days when dictionaries were not yet omnipresent, I heeded complaints about the breadth of my lexicon. Now, when the meaning of every word in the world is nigh instantaneously knowable from every Internet-connected device including the one you used to fuss about "farrago", I no longer worry about it. Congratulations! You learned a new word today.

This sounds like I’m on prank show. You talk like this in real life? Why are you using all these big words? Why not keep it simple stupid?

It’s way worse to write like you do than to list stuff out with semicolons,
