The person who invented this sentence is either a Vocabulary GENIUS or is absolutely JOBLESS.

Why?

You’ll soon find out !!!

Read the sentence below carefully…

“I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness”.

This is a sentence where the Nth word is N letters long.

e.g. 3rd word is 3 letters long, 8th word is 8 letters long and so on

I've always been told by my English teachers that the best way to express oneself is by using clear and concise language.

In other words, the simpler the vocabulary, the better.

Or show off how ignorant they really are by trying to impress others with their advanced vocabulary. :roll: I knew someone like that in middle school and she used to annoy the heck out of me.
 
Looks like each word is one letter longer than the preceding one. :giggle:

I was actually lampooning the whole thing. The sentence reads like a Congressional excuse session. Think "I did not have sex with that woman" written by Senatorial speech writers. Like Senator Craig and his "wide stance" when using the toilet...:roll:
 
urgh... easier english would be easier :roll: Talk about making things complicated! That sentence is ridiculous...

Who seriously talks like that? Nobody!

That's what I thought. In high school I used to be a "flowery" writer who tried to impress others by using fancy words. 99% of the time, no one could understand what the heck I was saying. I now stick to using basic vocabulary along with condensed sentence structure. Doing the latter shows more intelligence than doing the former. :)
