for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Nomenclature and the limit, 76 words.

Calling Maximilian a ‘loganamnosist’ is an understatement. His ‘lexiphanic’ language is incomprehensible. Why he uses such long words discombobulates me!
He says today’s lazy-speak (my word, not his) is ‘symptomatic of the gradational decline in the standard of articulated and scripted English’.
“Max” I said. Mistake!
“My designated nomenclature is Max-i-mil-ian” he enunciated. He claims it’s Latin for ‘the greatest’. Yea, in your dreams chum!
He’ll never change. Max without long words just wouldn’t be Maximilian!
.
*In case you are wondering, a loganamnosist is someone with a fascination for long lost and archaic words, and lexiphanic means to use pretentious vocabulary or grandiose phraseology. I just thought I’d have a go at being a legolept myself!

Max sounds like a delight! Big into complexification.
I’m sure glad you supplied definitions. Just had to look up Attraversiamo from someone else’s blog; so I’ve had my fill of big words for this morning. 😉

Attraveraaaaa – I can’t even say it let alone understand it!

Attraverso = cross. (As in traversing the road, stream, etc). It’s morphed into the easier English travel.. I learned something, and I’m sure Maximilian will want to know this word. 🙂

Hi Keith – I’m glad you’re trying to be a loganamnosist .. but poor Max must be muttering to his bookworms … hoping you’ll learn to edit first?! Maximilion or Maximilian …
I even used proprioception in my post today … it, frankly, has an easier meaning … but in relevance – it was appropriate to use.
Cheers and enjoy this beautiful weather – Hilary

Hilary, well spotted, duly corrected! He was of course named after Maximilian, King of the Romans from 1486 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1508 until his death. Proprioception? A new one to me. Making the most of the weather and setting up my stall in Pevensey Bay Boot Fair tomorrow morning! Let’s enjoy it while we can!
