Nobody says "didactification."

Nobody normal, anyway.

"gareth" (Gareth Alun Evans) likes to bandy about long words in an
attempt to make himself look learned and erudite, when in reality it
just marks him out as a pompous old fool.


Stop indulging in ridiculisation and tomfoolerification and get back on
track.
Expansionification of the vocabulary by extendificationalisers is
entirely valid.

I'm not sure if RF exposure causes brain cancer, but RF certainly
seems to be involved in the current increase in
hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian verbage, cancer of the vocabulary, and
buzzword hypertrophy epidemics. Please make an effort to avoid such
sesquipedalian words.[1]

I have the opposite problem. In the 1960's, as part of a teacher
preparation and indoctrination program, I was required to reduce my
vocabulary to something suitable for a 10 year old. That was about
1500 words. I don't think I ever fully recovered from the ordeal.
See radio run, run radio run.


Are you teaching Congress?

Congress critters are some of the other graduates of the teacher
preperation program. The rest write advertising copy.

That's about seven grades above what I expect. But then living here in
Washington, we get to see a different side of them. Not everything is
carefully scripted.
