<...he is so full of himself, he belongs in the company of Peacocks (his prose are like a geek who got ahold of a Thesaurus for the first time). > Steady on Own. That sounds like a case of Peacock Envy. There really isn't anything wrong with using big words. Dumbing vocabulary down to a series of digitized grunts is not good. Even Xena used the expression 'atavistic hostility' which would make many run for the dictionary. Actually, that wasn't Xena, it was Lucy Lawless in her real 3D character. Xena would NOT use such words or the tv land audience would quickly dwindle.

I doubt GG uses a Thesaurus to come up with a fancy word. I don't mind getting hold of a dictionary to see what words really mean. I learned what "investor" means just the other day! Cool! Now I can aspire to be one.
