Moon Landing?

Yeah, but it's fun to be skeptical.

Skepticism is innocuous as long as it is recognized as skepticism. When it is preposterously exaggerated and asserted as fact without sufficient, or in some cases, any real evidence it ceases to be innocuous.

You're just trying to sound smart now.

Don't think he needs to try, to be honest.

I don't think the Moon Landing was faked.

That would certainly be the goal of using elevated vocabulary. It's basically the same reason I would want to type properly. Although of all my posts, I'm surprised you would comment on that one. Those are words I like to throw around commonly.

I applaud your linguistic prowess and grammatical dedication, two attributes oft found to be lacking in the modern world. Thank you, sir.

You wouldn't guess he's only 16, either.

16 and able to kick my ass... well at least not while he was crippled lol.

It's not elevated vocabularly, it's extra.

Fine. I'll dumb it down.

"Skepticism is harmless as long as people know and let others know that they are being skeptical about something that is commonly believed as fact. On the other hand, if they exaggerate it wayyyyyy too much and say it's fact without much, or sometimes any real evidence then it isn't harmless anymore."

If that helps you, great. My guess is it doesn't.

I choose to use an elevated vocabulary in my posts because that is the most succinct way I can think of to unequivocally convey my point to the best of my abilities. I don't do it simply to be pedantic.

MJ you're just being sarcastic with your writing, and are using words that don't need to be used, even if they are elevated the purpose itself doesn't change, the factual matter you have presented will still be... the same damn thing. But if it makes you feel better, keep going at it, you're only wasting your own time.

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it
