Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity: Problems with Using Long Words Needlessly. DANIEL M. OPPENHEIMER (of Princeton University)
To liven up a boring powerpoint slideshow tonight, our professor interlaced the titles of research articles written by professors that were awarded for their ridiculousness. We've been challenged to use the words "erudite vernacular" in a sentence sometime this week.
The one I thought the funniest was the study of how temperature affects the speed of sound traveling through cheddar cheese.And the one about how rats can't distinguish between the sounds of japanese and dutch spoken backwards.
These people actually get money to research these things???
