The synapses from my thalamus to my Frontal lobe must not be firing in an 
efficient manner, for I fail to comprehend the plethora of symbolism which you 
just recently attempted to communicate toward me.  I implore you to please 
expand your vocabulary, for I assume you did not enter this data in an attempt 
to pursue a notion that you might extend the duration of your physical 
existence.


I'm JUST kidding.  Actually, I do have a few serious things to say here.  
Quite often, the above is true in that when you speak to a certain group of 
people, your vocabulary changes to seem more acceptable.  It is a part of 
being social.  However, in my experience, if people have the vocabulary, they 
use it.  It's not a conscious achievement in any way.  Also, as far as this 
Mailing List is concerned, we are talking about books that we have read among 
other things (lbahblahblah i can't think).  Books of which, esp. regarding HPB 
(not the hpb's), use very BIG words.  We end up using the big words we have 
heard or read elsewhere to describe our current situation. and blahblahblah.  
See ya!
