@ossobuco,
No harm in a momentary doubt. I'm not really offended and it's your right to think what you please. It's more of a compliment than an insult. I read a lot of older literature and I suppose it probably expands my language ability, though I don't like to use crazy words because most people I converse with don't likely know them. Talking about issues can be helpful and I'm willing to confide in others for help. After all, it's only the internet.
