"On balance, though, Anglo-Saxon words are more immediate and understandable than Greco-Latin ones." (Kilian 61)


Alrighty folks, if ya want to sound intelligent (or perspicacious as it may be - they're one in the same), all ya gotta do is use big words; just make sure you know what they mean and the right context to use them in! Anglo-Saxon words are easy, immediate. Greco-Latin words require more thought the longer they are. So, just use longer, multi syllabic words and you'll have it made.

People often mistake me for a more intelligent person than I know myself to be and that's really only because I utilize language with multifarious symbols! Well, there it is. It's out in the open at last. You are now armed with the power to sound smart! That is, if you wanna be perceived that way, I guess.
