thus, perhaps, therefore? Don't you think they are being ostentatious?

I think it precipitates the opinion of one's pomposity and a leaves an opinion that the individual is a prevaricator using it as a lubricant for his or her own egotism and narcissism.
Damn Justin, you made my brain hurt!
Edit: Shanmin: the only thing that is stimulating about your answer as that I happen to be sitting on a piece of plastic run by batteries. What the hell are you trying to say there?

The word 'thus' is a little much. But 'perhaps' is a word I use when I am offering advice or not 100% sure. "Therefore" is word to show cause and effect. In my opinion, I think the word 'ostentatious' is a tad bit ostentatious in itself.

I think you're just trying to be ironic by saying those are fancy words and then using the word ostentatious at the end of your sentence.

"Therefore" is a perfectly decent way to say "for this reason," thus, the word is efficient and utile. I endeavor to eschew ostentatiousness but I am used to an obtuse audience, *therefore*, thus, and ergo, I figure it doesn't much matter what literary appelation I choose to distinguish my words with. Oh crap, I did it again.

Ironically the use of the word ostentatious in this context is itself, somewhat ostentatious.

Upon pondering your inquiry with deep prognostication, I have come to the conclusion that there does, indeed, exist the circumstance of hindering communication through too much articulation, thusly causing a sense of disassociation.

There is nothing wrong with using good English as long as they know how to use it properly and now what it means!! I can't stand when people try to use "fancy" or "big" words and they have no idea whatsoever what they mean or how to use them.

... using thus gets on my nerves along with whom. therefore, i use this word sometimes so I can't say that I get annoyed. What annoys me is when people go and point out you should have said those more 'sophisticated' words. That is annoying.

No. Sometimes those words are apropos. What in the hell's wrong with talking good?
