Guest guest Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Oh, please ignore this. Sorry. Not sure what's up with me in even bringing this up, but it was silly of me. Helena To: "ACT" <act_for_the_public >Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2011 12:55:27 PMSubject: To Detlef Hi Detlef. I am wondering why you use words in your communication that most of us don't know the meaning of. To say that "properly" and not end a sentence in a proposition, I should say "of which most of us don't know the meaning." I know a lot of words that I don't use in everyday language because I realize many people may not know them. My intent is to communicate, not to impress others with my language or word skills. This came across yesterday during our online session in which you used a word that is not familiar to most people. And this has happened many times with your communication here on this forum. I often don't know the meaning of a word you use, and I am no dummy. I'm not sure why you do that. Surely you know that most people don't have your extensive vocabulary? So why speak to them as though they do? Curious, Helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
