#we could of course get into an entire convo abt the symbolic nature of language and semiotics
Text
i rly like when people use words incorrectly and then trying to reverse engineer what they think the word meant. it's like a game
#we could of course get into an entire convo abt the symbolic nature of language and semiotics#most of the time it's clear what they were TRYING to say or assumed the word meant#i have a lot of respect for people who actively try to broaden their own vocabulary (esp through reading bc learning-#how to correctly integrate unfamiliar words you've never actually heard spoken before into your own use is HARD.)#but i think sometimes people choose to use words they don't actually understand under the pretence of sounding smarter#i'd argue someone who expresses themselves and their ideas clearly with a basic vocabulary is more impressive than-#someone who uses words they don't understand to sound impressive
