Comment on How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone use the word lets say ecclesiastical or something like that they do not get complimented it shows they respect English.
Not as a complement to what you were saying, but did it land as a compliment?
I suppose a product of growing up with anti-intellectualism is that it seems threatening when someone stops everything and turns everyone’s attention to a word that you just used without conceit.
