Ok.
That's a lot of fancy-a**-words to say essentially nothing. May I assume that you have no particularly pressing problems at the moment or impressive achievements to announce, and are just poking your nose out to say "Hi"?
Hi.
hello to you too :3
foremost, besides your loud and clear sarcasm, as a not native speaker I could be flattered by what you are saying about the use of "fancy words" - I really didn't notice that I was using an "highbrow" language-, but let's put aside sarcasm and moot points and let's start to talk about your objections. As you can guess I love debate, so there's nothing of contradictory if I do such massive discourse but nevertheless I'm having pressing problems at the very same time: instead of considering these two points as one excludes the other one, you should consider them as quite related among themselves. firstly, because the words play a significant role on the way how I withstand my own unease (sometimes when my unease is getting worse I wind up myself in a sort of aphasia state, furthermore I have a couple of OCD linked to the linguistic field), secondly because I find that a sharp and aware control of language - for example, the wide use of periphrasis could be helpful- is the best manner to pratice
escapism. There's a lot of life out there - lot of troubles, a sheer amount of platitudinous and predictable aspects of daily routine, a traffic congested crossroads of existences-, thus I don't need to put something linked to my life in every sentence that I have to write, otherwise I detect the necessity to draw apart myself from life for awhile as best as I can. stop thinking about to write something meaningful and just focus on the shape instead of content - I'd rather an alienating way of writing, with a well-stocked patrimony of circumlocutory speech, instead of a meaningful monologue, that's what I meant-

If you want to talk about Star Wars or HP, we're all probably around eleven years old, while in real-world stuff things are not so simple.
I disagree, it depends on the way you examine the subjects
