    It amuses me that some people here claim to have huge vocabularies yet don't seem to understand the meanings of the words 'sarcasm' and 'humour'.

    Canadian or British, or just like using superfluous u's?

    I apologize if I offended anyone. I was just trying to be funny with my warped sense of humor!

    I don't think anyone took your comment personal.

    OP doesn't like French people so I better get out of here.

    I call it a strainer

    I thought a strainer was a set in which you strained a muscle.

    "ahh, *kitten*..that was a strainer!"

    In a very well-loved children's book (by a certain Miss Potter) Benjamin Bunny's family was 'improvident and impecunious' -such delicious words! Don't force us all to select from only the practical or well-used options. Equal rights for all the words in the dictionary and those yet to be there!

    is it hippopotamuses or hippopotomi?

    Both are acceptable. But hippopotamuses is much more fun to say. So I choose you hippopatamuses!

    The fact that you think people use "big" words in an effort to make you feel inferior says way more about you than it ever will about them.

    I love words. I love reading about words, learning new words and learning the etymology of words.

    This. If you don't understand what someone is saying, maybe it's a hint that you should pick up a dictionary or go to school to further your education/expand your knowledge.

    Do you speak Swahili? Cause if you don't understand what some guy speaking Swahili says, that speaks more about you than it does about him.

    Maybe you should go back to school and learn some Swahili. Just sayin'.

    I noticed some posters around here are trying to bully others by using big words we/I don't understand. That's not going to work, we are pretty smart and figure things out too

    We should all be here to support each other on our journeys

    If we were friends I would be getting you a dictionary for Christmas. Jusssayin.

    But seriously, if you have access to this site, you have access to google. Look up the word or phrase you don't know and learn something. Ffs
