Anyone else begun to feel Brexit?

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Not all of us get up in the morning and pull on some old sacking secured with string, h. We favour the carefully tailored suit; the trousering accentuating the gracefulness of the calf, the jacket cut to highlight the manly chest and shoulders. In a similar way, we use language to ornament our speech and add the essential elegance to our lives. You daft old ****.

The word is the very embodiment of pompous Victorian over-elaboration. Six syllables where one will do! Exactly the kind of thing George Orwell railed against correctly observing that powerful writing is characterised by forthrightness and simplicity.

I bet Monty, a published author no less, would agree with me.
