‼‼DISCOURSE ALERT‼‼ but i saw someone post saying "i want to start using more simpler words to be more inclusive to people who have english as their second language & people who didnt have the sane access to education that i had" and one of the examples they listed was proliferation -> making, and im wondering if thats a condescending way about it or not? lets discuss

#✂️#i come from a background of having access to good education so mamy i dont get it #when people use words i dont understand or havent heard of i google it and learn a new word #like someone i saw used the word lascivious qnd i learnt that word! i understand the sentiment behind it but like #i feel like its inherently a bit condescending. but maybe thats because of the structures of smartness and #the concept of talking 'up' and 'down' and how we view intellect #but its also just like............. learning rhings is good for everyone involved?#IDK! id like opinions on this bc this one has thrown me for a loop .#class discussion time
