The Perspicacious Predilection for Sesquipedalian Polysyllabic Pronouncements

Hear me, boys and girls. Nothing makes you sound smarter—excuse me, more intelligent—than using great, big, foot-and-a-half long words. It is always better to use a word with four or more syllables than a word with one. You can see the truth in this by looking first at the title to this post and then at the post itself. Are you not more in awe of the title than of what you are reading now? Of course you are. These words are like mere mites on the back of a moose in contrast to those words. Those words could even strike fear into the heart of a lawyer. So keep these words in mind, boys and girls, and chant them all day long: big words good, small words bad. You won’t go wrong if you do.
