teachercd Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If you really want to impress people...use simple words. Tommy Paine did it and it worked for him...even if he did have to change the name of his "book" Quote Link to comment

If you really want to impress folks try writing in iambic pentameter or something. Anyone can use a thesaurus. Be creative. really? you'd be wrong in fact the board showed it was spelled wrong- maybe you need to check the spell check vocabulary anyway you all bore me OUT Quote Link to comment

We're not putting you down, we're joking with you. EDIT - you want to feel better? I'll give you mad props for at least having the wit and putting in the effort to look up the words. Most folks wouldn't do that. Not only did you know to do it, you picked some fun words. It means you're not a dope, and you'll likely be interesting once we get past the awkward getting-to-know-you stage. So don't worry about some grief from some folks online. 1 Quote Link to comment
Whistlepig Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 well obviously the attempt to lighten up was lost on most of you, but, I'm getting to like being the vocabulary punching bag poster child, I'm helping everyone deal with their emotional rage against words like quixotic. hit me anytime- but I'll leave this post now because it is getting silly Quote Link to comment

I would suggest that this is only posessed by those who would keep the former AD and current coach, in order to see true Husker fans suffer. Quote Link to comment
