I saw a video the other day that said apparently having a large vocabulary is now considered descrimination because most people can't understand what you're saying.
There's pure uneducated (where it's not your fault because you didn't have access), and then there's willful stupidity and refusal to learn.
Merriam-websters online dictionary is right there. If you don't know a word, look it up. You don't even need to go to the dictionary's site. You could just google it. But you sit there in your stupidity like a deer in headlights absolutely dumbfounded that this person you're speaking with used a word you didn't understand. (Not talking about op)
Actually, it's worse than this. It's learned helplessness. Trained helplessness even. The school system is designed to make kids feel helpless so they will be less likely to find their own way and think for themselves. So they'll be less likely to learn.
Fight this. Learn a new word today. Read an old book. Study a dictionary. I don't know. Just don't let yourself be stupid.
