Then I guess it’s OK for me to admit here that I’m openly homosapien, and have also engaged in thespian activities, and I am also a dyslexic, agnostic insomniac. (I spend many a sleepless night contemplating the existence of doG.)

An expert writer uses vocabulary to elevate the reader's comprehension. A vanity writer attempts to be prolific to the detriment of comprehension. Words are powerful tools; but, as with any tools, you have to know how to use them effectively.

hmmm. as I watch Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments, I am just now realizing that this hand written in an old Bible screed was the missing Commandment that Moses smashed in disgust. I can see why.

I too am intoxicated by the exhuberance of my own verbosity.

by the way

According to Mark Twain:

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without rhodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, purient pscosity, and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent.
