People Who Use Long Words

Don't you just hate people go all sesquipedalianism and use big words just to make themselves look perspicacious? I know i do so you won't be seeing any reference to antidisestablishmentarianism here and i won't be trying to find a way to work pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis into the post, that would just be floccinaucinihilipilification.
Not that i am in anyway a suffer of hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia but stuffing a sentence with long words which leads to lots of incomprehensibilities is pointless, it doesn't lead to honorificabilitudinitatibus or anything so i keep away from doing it at all.
Luckily my German is non-existent because  how the hell would the word for the law for the delegation of monitoring beef labeling be included so rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz will be kept firmly out of things and there is nothing super about supercalifragilisticexpialidocious which was a word made up for a movie.
Doctors may need to be able to say pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism or thyroparathyroidectomized but i don't although they may want to take a psychological look at why some people feel the need to
use such long words but as i am not doing that, no need for any psychoneuroendocrinological here thankfully.
This post then is safe for all bibliophobes from Taumatawhakatangi­hangakoauauotamatea­turipukakapikimaunga­horonukupokaiwhen­uakitanatahu in New Zealand to
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales.
