How come the msq keeps using big words?

One again plz stop responding to troll threads.

See, I know they're a troll. Other knows they're a troll. And yet, the OP's poor quality bait always gets some legitimate hits.

So here I am like...



…Every time the OP makes a new thread. And their Highlander counterpart. The 2 have to be connected.

They are in the same fc. It's probably the same person on 2 accounts, cuz all the alts in the fc have names like theirs.

What does "by his most puissant hands" even mean lol?

You've heard "has their hands in everything" or "has big hands" as a subtle indicator of great strength... perhaps among other things? Just work from there.

Puissant = having a lot of power or influence.

Most of the words aren't exclusive to an English major vocabulary by any means, though. They just happen to be older words and, more rarely, older structures.

Most of the time they require to be more wordy but allows greater precision in tone or reference (see... back in their days, memes may have been a thing, but they couldn't be used in outright lieu of understandable sentences), and other times they're actually quicker because the meaning of the word hadn't yet quite been tracked into such specific meanings as we now give them. It's a look back on language where you win some and lose some and it's just generally fun to play around with.

Don't be so pusillanimous, take some initiative and pick up a dictionary.

I'll just say 2 things:

1. Urianger would like to know your location.

2. These so-called "big words" have usually been in English versions of FFXIV. Urianger or no Urianger.

Like this one? ^

You do know that no matter where this thread is sitting on the forum at the time you post, your post swings it back up top?

It's one thing to take the bait, and another to tell people, "Hey, this is bait. And this is why you don't take it." It's like telling people cake is bad for you while woofing down a slab yourself right in front of them.

That's when you say, "It's okay in moderation".

I'm not an English major either and even I know these words. ^^; I've never had an issue with MSQ's use of diction. Though, I am in the habit of whipping out a dictionary whenever I don't recognise a word, like in a book. So... Maybe that's the difference.
I think looking up words you don't recognise would benefit you, OP.

OP are you by any chance the even less funny version of Theodric?

Humour is completely subjective. Some people find my contributions to the forum to be amusing, others do not.
