The writing of this post all started when I was challenged by someone yesterday to include the words floccinaucinihilipilification and discombobulation in their proper sense on my blog. Though I confess to having used the verb-form floccinaucinihilipilificate rather than the noun, I believe I’ve made up for it by throwing in some other big words.

Consider the following text:

I’ve never been an aficionado of sesquipedalianism, not because I have anything against interminable linguistic components but rather because I want individuals to comprehend my verbalizations and compositions.

Yes, I’m acknowledging that I floccinaucinihilipilificate sesquipedalianism as it unambiguously results in discombobulation which I delimitate as aberrational. It renders communicational absorbability labyrinthine for the recipient and its utilization is customarily a modus operandi endeavouring to manifest an individual’s knowledgeableness. Compendious and comprehensible is unsurpassed.

For those of you who have no dictionary, don’t wish to consult a dictionary or don’t know what a dictionary is, here’s the translation:

I’ve never been a fan of using long words, not because I have anything against long words but rather because I want people to understand what I say and write.

Yes, I’m admitting I consider long word use to have little value as it simply results in confusion which I define as wrong. It makes getting messages complex for the receiver and its use is often a means of trying to show one is smart. Short and simple is best.
