some people should just keep a bloody dictionary in their bags.

i get the creeps when someone uses a phrase or word they don't really know the meaning to over and over again, simply to show that they can use bombastic language.

i'm guilty of using such vocabulary in my daily speech.

unfortunately though, it's been ingrained.

big language is overrated.

let's try to break it down and keep it simple please.

and if you think you need to keep up with me, you really don't need to.

i've grown up in a different environment, different plane, different society.

and i'm in a job that requires my understanding of the language to be of prime importance.

speak your comfort, write your comfort.

on that note, i think i will start keeping one in my bag again.

a dictionary, that is.
