The user must challenge their own selves to communicate in a way that is as bombastic as conceptually possible. The goal is to be garrulous in your manner of mentioning the subject matter. There exist multiple ways to approach this challenge. You can use simple, uptight language that is pleasing to presenters and informational experts, which most of this explanation consists of. Another entertaining possibility is to try and construct a response that will force the reader to access the dictionary as many times as possible. This would be most exciting to see! We could even institute a competition! On one last note, please pay attention to your grammar. The other members of the thread can and probably will use their inflated lexicons to publically shame you for it, so be consistently cautious.<br /><br />You should at least attempt to read the bullcrap above that I spent <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">way</span> too long typing, as I feel it explains better, but let me simplify: <br /><br />Talk about anything, but be uselessly wordy and complex.
