You know perfectly well what your sins were and trying to deflect and obscure from them does not bring you forgiveness. The ones I was targeting were the ones that should a person "look them up" in the dictionary, it would avail them not at all, because your usage could not be found in the dictionary. So despite the fact that you can be clever and avail yourself of the thesaurus does not expiate your crimes. BTW, your words are not "big" your usage is just obscure and/or provincial. Evidently though your cognitive powers do not extend to the point where you can recognize the difference between obscure words, and obscure usage. As you are not a dull fellow, or one lacking in wit, I must assume it is a problem of awareness expressed in an extreme and severely limiting form of ethnocentrism. Unlike Whitman who states, "What I know, you will know..." you mantra appears to be "What I know you should know!"
Although I love you dearly, I will not abide you writing a bunch of crap and thinking you have won this argument, for you have not Sir, you have not. I eagerly await your next salvo, hopefully of greater substance and less fluff.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
