Can I have a second reply?
At the age of 7, the Walt Disney World Florida theme park E.P.C.O.T is extremely intriguing, and was fantastic at holding my attention.

Do you use words because you actually have an extensive vocabulary
or simply because you think they make you sound more intelligent?
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 14:32, Reply)

I do consider my vocabulary to be more expansive than the vocabulary of the majority of British people.
Is that arrogant? You can decide.
(888777555, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 14:35, Reply)
If your vocabulary was that expansive
you wouldn't have used the same word twice in your post

It's a pity he's substituted vocabulary for content

I'd have swapped out the second vocabulary and just said "than that of the majority etc"
For similar reasons as to why I said "swapped" rather than "supplanted" above.

When I was his age I used to try and learn a new word each day from the dictionary.
I suspect he's doing the same thing.

Or misses out on a full stop.
Besides, People sounds too much like "We, the People". It makes it sound like some sort of declaration of independence or something.

It's still hardly thousands

I ask because most people with an extensive vocabulary use it sparingly,
where they have one word that is more expressive than many. Whereas you adopt a scattergun approach.

I realise this probably seems rude. This is because I'm rude.

You are arguably correct in that we are probably able to make that judgement.
On the other hand, if you were explicitly inviting us to do so, you ought to have used 'may' rather than 'can', I believe. I might be wrong though - would any grammar fans care to help out?

That always irritated me.
There was a teacher who would reply to "Can I go to the toilet?" with "Well, you're able to, but may you?".

I think can is able to and may is allowed to.

It's clearly implicit in what you said that you were requesting permission, not asking them if you were capable of doing it. I onlce asked at a ticket office if I could have a one day travel card and she said "You can buy one, you can't have it for nothing!" in a LOLwaki joking manner. I wished she had died.
