Yes, Damnit, I'm Smarter Than a Fifth Grader!

Was it my customary prolixity? Or maybe my rampant solecism?




Could the damned thing even recognise† solecism if it was bitten by solecism on its elementary school-going ass?

How many big words does one have to use to get a collegiate rating?

I found this on Iron Needles and got all cocky and hubris-like‡ and plugged in my URL and...

Voilà!§ I'm an imbecile!¶

*sniff*

Kim says I'm smart. Kim even praised my lexical prowess.# And she thinks I'm funny. Does the damned elementary school thing even know from funny?

I bet Kim gets mad reading level points for "lexical."


†FOOTNOTE (crossed): Perhaps it's marking me down for British spellings.

‡FOOTNOTE (double-crossed): Hubris! I use the word "hubris" ALL THE TIME! That's not an elementary school word!

§FOOTNOTE (swerved): How many people take the time and care to make sure to use a grave accent in "voilà"? Not an elementary school student, that's how many!

¶FOOTNOTE (paragraphed): Shouldn't "imbecile" raise me to at least middle school level?

#FOOTNOTE (pounded): I can spell "lexical." Huh. Maybe the damned elementary school thing heard about my spelling be debacle. Debacle's a pretty good word...
