jeffwSupreme Court won’t hear InfoWars host’s First Amendment challenge to Jan. 6 conviction
ChihuahuaOfDoomCan we please use simple language, I don’t know what the fuck exhort means, I mean I do now (strongly encourage or urge (someone) to do something) but I didn’t. Why are you trying to make me learn!?!
Todd BonzalezThis is one of those things where you think you’re making a justified complaint about a publication using unnecessarily esoteric language that you feel alienates the reader. This is something that has the possibility of being a legitimate complaint. There is a good argument for not talking over your audience’s heads.
But everyone who read the article just sees a guy who can’t read…
I’m educated well enough, I was mostly being sarcastic but the fact is that no one uses that word. I figured what it meant based on context but still had to go look it up and was annoyed. Sometimes it seems like a writer feels like being vague and beats you over the head with a thesaurus.
There are two types of people. Those who get excited when they see a word they don’t know and those who get annoyed.
Damn right! I have to look up any word I don’t know out a compulsive need to ensure that I fully understand what I’ve read. It’s a beneficial OCDish trait, unlike some of the other ones.
