I find every day when visiting other blogsites there are people out there who use inordinate measures to unnecessarily incorporate uncommon words and phrases in order to compile an otherwise simple message, these are people who consider that an obscure, or Greek or a latin word adds weight to their statement, when in fact it does the opposite and repels readers and listeners who are only at ease with that which is normally easy to understand.
A person need not know Latin, but should at least have forgotten it.

In fact my records show J Laws was sent a copy by my sec (wife) nearly two years back,and no payment or thanks received, it seems celebs can be pikers too.
