I'll take a sesquipedalian person over a quotidian one any day. It's so rare to find someone who actually has a command of the english langage, and sometimes certain words are more descriptive than others in a situation.

Yes, I totally agree. Generally, the less educated try to impress by using big words when common sense dictates that one uses plain English. John Prescot is a fine example, Police interviewed on telly try to use big words, as do trade union spokesmen. I have seriously thought in the past that I would join the Campaign for real grammar and speech if such a thing exists.

Yeah usually. But since I had to look up so many words in your question, I have to admit that you're one sesquipedalian person who is quite intriguing...

The worst type of sesquipedalian person is a hypocritical one such as yourself.

Trying out your new big word, are you? Sorry, I'm not afraid to admit I don't know what it means, but I will do so and get back to you. Then I might know if YOU piss ME off.

Why be sesquipedalian when diminutive verbage will suffice?
