[quote=Anonymous]Two of my co-workers are always trying to sound eloquent by using longer words instead of a shorter, more common synonym. Some of this doesn't bother me or anyone in the office, but the overuse of some words makes them actually sound dumb a lot of times. I am on maternity leave and just had a conversation with one of those co-workers and she said "utilize" 32 times! And we weren't talking about work, we were talking about babies. 32 times! You seriously think its better to say you would never "utilize" cloth diapers because they are a lot of work? What's wrong with just plain ol' "use"? Vent over, thank you.[/quote]
