I've always wanted to use the phrase "noblesse oblige," even though I am not that rich. I just think, modestly, that it is a good source of entertainment to puzzle others with sophisticated vocabulary- and it's always fun to exaggerate things.

Words can be used as tools to precisely express ideas but can also be used to assert class superiority over others, since vocabulary, diction, and grammar are status indicators, as distinct from status symbols (which can be purchased and displayed). Correct use of words indicates education, which requires money and self-discipline, and this is especially true with the time and dedication involved in learning a foreign language in an era in which most colleges have dropped foreign-language requirements.
If you're trying to express yourself or communicate with others, why use words your listener probably won't understand, obscuring your meaning? Student use of fifty-cent words usually comes at the expense of preciseness, and in many cases the use of big words or foreign words without really understanding them yields errors that defeat your purpose.

Je = The J sounds like the "s" in the word "measure". So.. say it like "jeuh" or "juh". It's kinda hard to describe. Vous = voo Aime = zem. (the s from the vous carries on to the A in aime because A is a vowel). so.. "Jeuh/Juh voo zem." If you're trying to say "I love you" in french, it is "Je t'aime", not "Je vous aime" since it's too formal. Je = Jeuh/Juh T'aime = Tem
