Why can't you just use normal English? CP is right, you just want to present yourself as smarter than everyone else. It's pretty funny. I am betting most people here have a higher IQ than you. Do you keep a thesaurus handy when writing your posts?

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me. Can you help me? I'm lost."
The man below says, "Yes, you are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 40 feet above this field."
"You must be an expert at using an electronic medical record," says the balloonist.
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct but totally useless."

The man below says: "Yes, you’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."
"You must work in Technical Support," says the balloonist.
"I do," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but completely useless."
The man below says: "You must be in management."
"I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well", says the man, "you don’t know where you are, or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You’re still in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault."
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

These days anyone can do things like the above on the internet. She sounds like what Jaiden Animations describes in her video on Thesaurus.com.
*That part is actually true. I've also been accused of being a "know it all" because of my choice of words.

It does appear to be the cause of your ire and I wonder why that is so.
And this is not real life - this is the internet.
By the way, that reminds me that I need to post about my granddaughter (whom we raised) who just got promoted to manager of her VERY OWN WALGREENS store!!!!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

And what I mentioned with regard to this habit of road-side shrines/memorials has some relevance albeit not consciously for those who do so.

Your repeated references to what you perceive as my attitude belie that remark. If you really were not bothered by what I write you would not keep making those comments.
I will mention some aspects of my own real life as I did earlier on with the loss of a very dear friend but I do not consider this site to be a therapy group.

Why do some people still cover mirrors in the house where someone has died? Why also do you think that in some traditions [including the west] the bride often wears a veil covering her face until the ceremony is over and her new husband lifts it?
On a completely different topic why do people so often throw coins into pools and fountains?

So why did you make that remark?
Do you not understand how cultural attitudes work? Why, for example, why do you suppose certain colours are worn at funerals? Traditionally in the west that has been black.
