One day. Im going to read the dictionary and know all the big words.

@NativePortlander1970 Hardly pretentious to speak English.

@sunriselover Um, you're from England, the birthplace of English 😶

@NativePortlander1970 Actually I’ve got nothing against American English, and my favourite author in my late teens was Ernest Hemingway. If we limit our vocabulary, we diminish our thinking.

@sunriselover Our vocabulary as a whole is fine as it is as long as context and comprehension is understood, we do not need to interject words that the general public does not utilize on a daily basis in our conversations when they are not needed. Doing so is seen as pretentious and alienating.

@NativePortlander1970 buut guuueeeyyss my english is like so good.
