[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Just a job where every promotion required a move to new location. [/quote] Imagine how using these very clear words would have gotten your point across so much better.[/quote] The person I was writing to knew the details of my moves and the reasons for them at the time they all occurred. So I was just making a shorthand reference to my life at that time. That’s part of the reason I thought it odd that this person gave such a different spin to my feelings about that time. [/quote] This person probably didn't know what the word meant, or he read it quickly as "pathetic." Or both. It doesn't matter the reason. You felt misunderstood, and several pps made good suggestions as to how to rectify it. I use obscure words when writing work papers where I need to change things up from time to time. If you routinely use uncommon words in emails to family members I'd think you're a pedantic. [/quote]
