@InvincibleMoose Yeah. I learned pretty young that you have to restrict your vocabulary to fit in pretty much anywhere. I didn't learn it early enough to avoid being bullied in school, but I did manage to fly under the radar professionally. It's an occupational hazard of being well-read.

@knottedthreads @InvincibleMoose I *almost* learned that, then I decided my new goal was to always be the least intelligent person in the room. In order to maintain that, I've had to keep changing rooms. I'd rather be uncomfortable, pushed, intimidated, or even inferior, than be stagnant.
