A Few Words On The Subject Of Words
or
- You can say inchoate sentences and no one will notice.
- When you tell your friend he is very grandiloquent, he may take it as a complement. (fortunately for you)
- You may use inveterate, perspicacity and malleable as your sine qua non during a job interview and get hired on the spot. Although, if you are too prolix you may find yourself dismissed.
- You know that it is not wise to prognosticate or to be lugubrious.
- You know that to be a maverick is a good thing. As is being demure, jocund and gregarious.
- You are able to educe wide-eyed stares by showing your effulgent cognition.
- You know not to be loquacious, and to avoid ursine people at all costs.
- You are aware it is not a pleasant feeling to be discombobulated.
- You know it is nugatory to indulge in feelings of umbrage.
- You comprehend all that Amber is speaking of, and recognise her perspicuity and nonpareil of expressing words that are chimerical, visceral and inscrutable. You also perceive that her thoughts are now peripatetic...

What the heck!?!
I know why you posted that...
After masticating lengthily upon your blogged soliloquy (nearly pleonastic if I myself might so say.) I dare declare that to descry ursine individuals would be (I think) a notable memory. Further, how, pray tell, does one show an "effulgent cognition"but by engaging in grandiloquent demonstrations; an agreeably unpalatable proposition. I was, in other news, quite humored when my professor used the word "inchoate" in class this week, as your post had brought such a long neglected word to my attention.
A post evoking rumination, indeed, Amber. And I heartily applaud your efforts, for only through militant insistence upon unearthing regrettably disregarded words and correct grammar can our language stave off extinction.

Thanks, Nathan. Although, I'm not sure that I used the words to the best of their advangtage, as the dictionary I was using had rather short definitions. I was one day seized with a desire to write something using large words, and this is what I came up with... I know it's rather pathetic, but it was enjoyable to think up!
Pathetic? An exercise in English? Say it not again and I shall pretend you never penned the words! A dictionary, eh? I must confess that I am most relieved. I had to wade slowly through your post with my own dictionary in hand to decipher your message hidden in plain sight. Well done. -Nathan
