^Learneded me a new phrase!
^Hopefully knows I don't speak like that IRL (well, at least not to other people; I sometimes like to to myself for some reason, though

^ doesn't spend a night arguing with a book that argues with itself. :drowsy:

Believe me, it's rather frustrating to say words like that in real life.. in fact using any language beyond 10th grade vocabulary makes conversations less appealing.

Are you talking about index locorum? I saw it in a recent assignment which was explaining the way written texts were formated and that happened to be the early form of a modern index, or table of contents. I was worried I wouldn't be able to use it just right ~~;;

I think I'm guilty when I make things sound more complex than they really need to be irl. At least, I try to catch myself before I start uttering nonsense.

^Hasn't devised a way for cars to beat speed cameras with a regular-sized ice cube, a 10-inch piece of pale yellow yarn, and a (live, not-going-to-be-harmed-in-this-process) pony

Well, other than complaints about how book X either doesn't have one, has an insufficient one, or has one but no description of what exactly it is (which is a majority of my findings), I seem to be finding that they're ridiculously specific (page #, column #, line #, word #). Then again, it's a computer thing....

Oh. This says it's an "an index of classical sources."

I tend to have the opposite problem: I can never find the right word, let alone one more complex-sounding. Sometimes I just go into crap like "you know, the thing with... the mabob...-type thinger...." Other times, I just don't speak at all. It's sad that for all I like words, I suck at remembering them. :/

^Hasn't won a certain very large "series of tubes" from whatever entity/entities previously owned (or, rather, supposedly currently owns/own) it

"What avatar," you ask? Exactly.
