Best said wearing a fake monocle and top hat. Honestly, college kids trying to sound educated is almost as annoying as 'this'. Just speak plain English, please.

- johnyzee 15y agoI didn't mean you, sorry if it came across that way. I am referring to a tendency of over-embellishing that I see a lot on HN and which frankly just adds noise. </curmudgeon>
- davidw 15y agoI don't like the contrived 'good sir' type of stuff (from reddit as well), but a demonstration of the full power of this language, from time to time, can be fun and creative, if it doesn't distract from the point.
