Classism in America
I haven&#x27;t finished the article yet, but one thing that strikes me is the flamboyant use of vocabulary.  Given the topic, I&#x27;m not sure whether it&#x27;s just a peculiarity of the author, an attempt to tailor the reception of the piece with regard to specific audiences, a slight trolling or the reader, or a combination thereof.<p>For example, early on we get &quot;impecunious&quot; and &quot;shibboleths&quot;, followed up shortly afterwards with &quot;booboo&quot; (!).  I find it distracting, to the point that I&#x27;ve lost the main thread of the article and I&#x27;m now wondering what the author was trying to accomplish with this style, if anything.<p>I often find myself switching to a different form of conversing when debating here, but I would like to think that&#x27;s because I&#x27;m trying to be precise, and so I switch to a more precise method of expression.  Sometimes that makes it into my speech, for example when I&#x27;m trying to explain or diagnose a problem.  It can be detrimental to communication if leaned on too heavily though.
