Some people are unable to help using formal speech. Pedantic Speech is a common trait among those with Aspergers, and among the gifted population.

While it may seem pretensions to yourself and others. I assure you that it is not something they can modulate or control... Which is why it is something which I feel should be taken into consideration and tolerated a bit more.

Not everyone is attempting to make themselves appear to be your "betters". Some people just cannot help it.
So true. I know couple of people who always talk as if they are writing the constitution but when you get to know them, there's nothing arrogant about them. They don't know how to speak in any other way.

anyone who answers a question with "So..." ARGH!!! Fucking corporate personnel or television talking head BS. Drives me mental.
Or people that start sentences "ya, no then i...." is it yes or no it can't be both.

The one that drives me nuts is when people write asking a question then write no? at the end, this is just juvenile, lazy and makes no sense in English.

Nope, he came across as Popeye, lol.

About a year ago, I read an article about the 10 most useless phrases in an office setting. "It is what it is", "moving forward" were on there, can't remember all of them. But my office at the time used 8 of them. It became quite the joke around the office.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

As soon as I hear it I think - think about what you are saying you dumb fuck. I'm guessing autopsy report that comes back from the massacre of school children at Sandy Hook 'no guns killed anybody here...'.

"moving forward"
I was going to say "going forward". Same difference. Both are totally useless in almost every usage, as in "Going forward, we will .....". For fuck sake, we can't go backward in time.

An old guy said, "yes me old cock" to me at work a long long time ago. It was in Newfoundland so I am pretty sure he was not calling me his aged penis. However I'd only been in the province for a few years so it was a bit odd.


I get slammed for excess verbosity on occasion. However by only one person whose ignorance of general information is epic. I mean really, Mussolini, doesn't ring a bell for you? So I don't feel to bad. However profanity is the last refuge of the inarticulate mother fucker I always believe.

I did know a guy who took the pedantic speech to a whole new level. It was not a autistic thing, it was him trying to hard to sound cultured and failing badly. I would often poke fun at him by translating what he said into normal human speech. I mean really, who the fuck says "I believe X wishes to egress from this locale" instead of "I think X wants to go"


Hey it is important. Covert all your money into beans bullets and bunkers and hole up somewhere.


Take a chill pill and ease off the throttle. You only live once.

I just want to ask you a quick question (it never is)

I know this isn't probably your area of responsibility but ... (I'm too lazy to find the right person who should do it).

When trying to explain a problem to a co-worker or a boss:

They say : "That's not good"

How i want to respond : "No shit it's not good. That's why i am seeking your advice you A-Hole"
