I certainly do not rustle jimmies!
Also, no reason to be jealous of my catgirl lol.
Whats funny is, I just found a Yougov poll that states 54% of Americans read a book in 2023, but I cannot link since I am Trust Level 2. You can find it via google with the query âamerican reads book dataâ.
I figured thatâs what they were referencing. But even to a 3rd party linking an old poll theyâd rather insult OP lol. Kinda clown mode 
And use ` to add links. Put one at the beginning and end.

I didnât insult the OP.
Lol wut?
Also, books are not the only way to absorb knowledge. I love reading, but Iâm not going to pretend that makes me smarter than people who donât.
Weâre more likely to pick up and use words weâre commonly exposed to in everyday speech. Just because I read and looked up a ânew, big wordâ in a book that other people havenât seen doesnât mean I gain IQ points, or that it serves me much purpose. lol
On a related note, a good sign of someone with high intelligence is the ability to alter their language to cater to their audience. You see this with actual geniuses all the time. They can talk to a PhD graduate about physics, and then turn right around and have a smooth transition into a conversation with a homeless guy in the park without missing a beat.
I always remember this whenever someone intentionally flexes their vocabulary in common areas. lol

I like small words and I can not lie
These big words make me cry
When a smart-aleck walks in with a big word and then throws it in your face
you get irate.
and wanna talk real tough
cause you noticed that the word was rough
Deep in between these meanings
Drudging up insecure feelings

Cause I know I canât defeatcha

As to quote an earlier post of yours, ahemâŚâThereâs a big difference could and wouldâ, but I know thereâs a term for that, I just canât recall what it is. Is it âironyâ?
Youâre making this thread an unsafe and unfun place to chill and relaxâŚwell, you already made it that way, this is why we canât have nice things.
Yeah, thats not even remotely close to what that means lol.
Also, not sure how this thread is âunsafe.â That doesnât even make any sense.
Youâre literacy shaming, making this an unsafe environment for people that canât read good.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
