I was just scolded for using fancy academic language & talking down to someone.
The word I used (after being asked if I got provide citations)?
Bibliography

It's much better to embrace or own ignorance and learn from it.
Willful ignorance is just plain stupid.
😂😂😂😂
☺️☺️
Even that word
Billographety or whatever it was
"There's that *** talk we talked about."
Just too fancy for most…
I’m also pretty sure that listening to audiobooks doesn’t improve the vocabulary as well as actual reading.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was of bibliography proportions….
🤣
Sorry
I mean…that’s silly
"Mom, how do you spell ____?"
"Look it up in the dictionary."
I could if I knew how to spell it!!!
I want to get off this ride. 🤦♂️
Dumbers gonna dumb

It sounds like you’re in Alabama.
PS I'm obviously joking!! 😉
Yes, One dragged out the Asimov chestnut.
It reminds me of when I told someone they are uneducable, and they told me uneducable is not a word (to which I responded "I rest my case.")
Same as if I don’t understand it, it is ridiculous by definition.

M’kay
Did you then make fun of their teeth?
how condescending!
People need to use those bibliographies and read some books!
Either you’re just making shit up… or you should definitely look into that immediately!
Woman coworker who listened in as a witness knew it was bullshit.
Manager’s partner was of the cloth so even more funny they did not get the reference.
Manager tried to mess with me too.
But illiterate people should at least remain cautious when commenting.
all projects are required to have a bibliography, and competition starts at 6th grade.
Eleven year olds write bibliographies.

what the word academic meant. She's 70+
It is also true that technical academic language can be crucial for knowledge and clarity.
And it is also true that where the accessible / arcane vocab line falls differs by person.
