Benjamin Hoff Quote

Now one rather annoying thing about scholars is that they are always using Big Words that some of us can't understand... and one sometimes gets the impression that those intimidating words are there to keep us from understanding. That way, the scholars can appear Superior, and will not likely be suspected of Not Knowing Something. After all, from the scholarly point of view, it's practically a crime not to know everything.
