Proceed to articulate the products of your mental activity in as formal and ostentatious a manner and language use as you can possibly conceive.

I wish this was in Dutch! I'm not good enough in English to do this, but in Dutch I talk really formal and pendantically. If this was in Dutch, I'd be very good...

I have not achieved the sufficient amount of slumber to proceed with articulation of my mental processes as the amount of energy required for ponderance is moderately inhibited.

This very self with which I perceive all sensory perceptions is breathing through the olfactory the piquant pungency of the chemical reaction of myrosin and sinigrin of the mustum ardens while masticating a haunch recherché of Sus domestica especially for the veneration of the nativity of a prominant religious icon.

sinsboldly, eschew obfuscating whilst gnoshing alogotrophic avian appurtenances. An appellation as a iotacistic gulous bablatrice belies and sullies your reputation as a indagatrix. Your logodaedalic elocution should espouse terseness, you milce-hearted hodmandod.

(I didnt call you anything mean!) :) a milce-hearted hodmandod is a kind hearted strange person.

Apparently a multiplicity of ocular acquisition has manifested in a paucity of participation.

Perhaps familial responsibilities or otherwise festal preoccupations have curbed our participatory representatives focus?

A possibility exists, however when the aforementioned user-end queries for this very thread has seemed to defy the very notion of participation in this thread. It may be the case that the users who are querying this thread are merely for simple casual purposes and are not from users who are prepared just yet.

It would appear to us all that this activity is not as enthralling as it might be or how we might perceive it should be.

Although my fellow-members have viewed many examples of pedantic phraseology
on this topic, my modest opinion is that people find it hard to actually imagine themselves
speaking with an over-exact grammar, a plethora of parallel phrases, a carefully chosen subordinate
clause, a viable split infinitive, and other hallmarks of an over-elaborate usage of English.

Remarks:

examples of parallel phrases=an over-exact grammar, a plethora of parallel phrases, a carefully chosen subordinate clause, and so on.

example of a subordinate clause="Although my fellow-members...on this topic,"

a viable split infinitive=to actually imagine (actually splits the two words of the infinitive in this example)

an excessively weighty metaphor="other hallmarks of an over-elaborate usage of English."

oh! mine beneficent compassion!! I have matriculated in upper echelons of our common verbiage and it is left to this momentous occasion to conclusively comprehend a 'split infinitive' (let alone a viable one) even though the midnight oil had burned brightly . . .

Peirastic neurological deviant autistics,
eschew selcouth polyonymic sesquipedalics,
only exhibit loquaciousness and terseness,
mundanes will consider you auspicious.
you cursory etymological brainiacs.


Its a hell of pandiculation, sorry.

it pretty much sums up a lot of aspies. Overly concerned with rules and regulations, and a narrow focus on academic (and often trivial) subjects.

This whole post is pedantic. Its also bloviated(bragging) and blandiose(which means bland), when it should be grandiose. Which is probably why we have 15 posts and 300 some views.
