Two Obscure, to look up

[tectak]

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" *

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.

Aww, the hell with it. Battles are for the bourgoisie...but au contraire, I am provincially relaxed. Whatever I think I know is not enough in another man's mansion. I mean, where's the shitter? I may not know now, but if I ask it's only because I don't want to shit on your carpet...local knowledge is EVERYTHING.
On these grounds I cannot assume greatness...in myself or others. As I said, there's more than one dictionary. Seek and ye MAY find...eventually.
In the meantime, I give the benefit of doubt. Who could ask for more?
