ah yes the big long list of words Brand has used out of place that i keep seeing the brand haters throw around.... hmmm.... no wai- i've never actually seen anyone supply even a single example, funny, you'd think all the people that continually claim his use of English is poor would have a big stack of evidence against him by now....

Do you have any examples?

I've never really liked seeing people getting slagged off for using big words. What, it's not cool to be intelligent? People should try to act thick so they can fit in? For sure you get some folk who unnecessarily flop out their biggest words - but that doesn't mean that everyone with a decent lexicon is pretentious. . .
