My aunt interrupted me to ask why I "talk like that" if I'm "so" educated. I said "Like what?" & she said "Ignorant"
So I told her "I prioritize intelligibility over ostentation. My intelligence requires no external validation."
She said "What?" I said "That's why."
Now she mad

@JJohnso78
You stated that you prioritize the quality of being understood by the listener over being pretentious. Your intelligence may require a ditionary..

so your mother who birthed you and gave you the opportunity to be more educated than her is now having you use big words to make her seem wrong when in reality you are saying you value peoples opinions more than facts

Clearly you prioritize ostentation over intelligibility, since you are using fancy words that she doesnt understand instead of simpler words she WOULD understand.
