Utterly superfluous exchange of inane and verbose verbiage
I did.  :rolleyes: And it's obvious it isn't finished, seeing as how he's done nothing with it. I'm just being a pest and going "GO GO GO WORK WORK WORK" to no benefit.

How's about shutting the hell up instead of making inane comments, then?

Why do many people on this forum have to use uncommon words like "inane" to sound like they are smart and smarter than the people they say that about? Why not just say "stupid", "silly" or "foolish" if they are going to say someone has below average intelligence or when saying that about their comment being so? Also, seeing those less common words will make many people not understand what that person means unless they look up the word.

**edit** entirely pointless.

My apologies to everybody else.

Actually, I look up many words and learn most of my stuff on my own. You don't need an education system at my age if you have a thirst for knowledge and like to look up definitions. Internet is cheaper than school too. The silly thing about English though is there are many words that mean the same thing. It is unnecessary for a language to have so many words with almost the exact same meaning if they are nouns or adjectives.

I didn't say it made me feel stupid. I just think it is silly for people to call people stupid and putting them down like that thinking they themselves know it all and they not even meeting or knowing the person they are calling "stupid" indirectly, and I'm standing up for those who have to endure their intelligence being insulted (and the people being insulted here are probably pretty smart and don't have babe/jock syndrome) by what could be called nerd bullies, by my own terminology. People in the real world aren't usually like that.

There are many different areas of intelligence and just because someone is not good at a certain subject or isn't nerdy and obsessed with tech doesn't make them stupid. I'm not talking about myself (I like tech as well as other activities and moderation) but those who may not know a lot about a certain subject. I consider intelligence to not only be about knowing facts and figures but also mixing it with and achieving other cognitive abilities, like common sense, figuring out more efficient ways to perform daily activities quicker and save money, and hands on experience and wisdom as well as using anything you can and being resourceful if you must.

High Max, thou art a villian!

But lo, by VA's hand is this horrific travesty of a thread righteously sundered, thusly sparing those innocents who wish merely to gaze upon the opulent glory of the Typhon the unprovokéd agony of such a perjorative exchange, being not intrinsic to the subject nor germane to the HTLing of the afore-mentioned spacecraft.  Insofar as such a degraded and frayed topic is concerned, I do beseech thee...  to shut up.

I use words like 'inane' and 'vitriolic' all the time... :nervous:

I don't know, I think 'Verbage' is a wonderful description of about 70% of the Internet ;)

Why not? It's a perfectly cromulent word.

No it isn't. Verbage is not a word, according to the OED (and also Google, perhaps surprisingly.)

Enough of your wittering, return to thy deep dungeons and do not darken these hallowed halls henceforth.

Or dost thou wish thy verbiage to be fully requited?

I'm beginning to regret having used that goddamn word in the first place, seeing the sort of further inanity it spawned. :p
