ADHD memes

I'm in this picture and i... am ambivalent.

An ex once told me her mother wasn’t a fan because talking to me was like talking to a thesaurus.

Yeah, well, Donna, your daughter decided to start fucking me because I was the only person who could consistently beat her at words with friends.

It's interesting, they used to think that having a big vocabulary or knowing multiple languages delayed having Alzheimer's. It turns out that family often first become aware that a person is developing Alzheimer's because the person starts regularly forgetting common words, but people with big vocabularies can come up with alternatives when they can't remember one, so their family doesn't recognize it as early. When those people are diagnosed, they end up being further along.

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one.

i like when people use big words cause then i can learn a new word. it's nice knowing words to say stuff with

Same energy as "your English is so good". No, I just don't know normal words.

"This is a complex subject with a lot of subtleties. We have to choose the right words to make sure we avoid misunderstandings. Any sufficiently developed topic has a language all its own."

Me go caveman mode. Talk dumb. As coping mechanism.

My oldest bitches about me doing this constantly. ‘We haven’t learned that yet’. ‘Sorry it’s all the voices gave me’.

I write a lot of fantasy, and that definitely affects my practical vocabulary. I don't think the specificity is needless though, especially in English, this Frankenstein of cognates and loaner words. You have so many options because the human experience is so diverse and multifaceted. Clarity helps, and it makes language more beautiful, something we should all strive for

Damn, no one ever put it into words like that but this describes me perfectly

It gets worse the more deviations you get away from the mean:

Scientists and other academics who often pride themselves on their rhetoric act in peculiar ways when they're challenged on their assumptions with sources.

Normally, you'd expect the open-minded to be like: "Wow, that's something I hadn't considered! Thanks for expanding my intellectual horizons!"

Instead its: "You completely invalidated my work, you fuckwit! We're going to lose funding!"

Always be kind to everyone you meet. C:

This is me for sure. XD

I never pontificated like that, but you're utterly correct.

I find it inconceivable that when I stirred from my bedchamber this morning, that I would find myself with an appeal to my senses that would brighten my day.

obliged

That's me, but also with english words instead of my native language's ones.

There was a Basic Instructions comic about exactly this, but unfortunately the only thing I can remember about it is that the protagonist describes someone's hair as "turgid" and "basic instructions turgid hair" isn't getting many relevant results.

Also, is "chariots chariots" related to the rest of the post or am I just oblivious?

edit: s/coming/comic

chariots chariots

Oh, good. We've got Prime Cave Johnson this time!

you avail yourself of eloquent parlance for you cannot recall simpler vocabulary
i partake in sophisticated linguistics for it is greatly entertaining
we are not the same

Ty OP.
