I used to have a co worker who would yell at me if I used what he called five dollar words when I talked to him.I guess incompatible would qualify as one of those.. More and more I'm getting that word on my old Samsung 5 phone when I try to use an app..I guess maybe I should send Santa a message while that part of my phone still works.

Larry, you’re not the only one who is “incompatible” with others. It’s just human nature. Personally, from what I know about you (based on your posts), I think you’re a swell guy. If that makes me incompatible I’m in good company. Cheers brother....

The Incompatibles.  There is a definite know-nothing response to even the middle-reaches of our rich language. Use a four-syllable word and some knuckle-dragger will hurl insults about you being some kind of word-Nazi. Not a very attractive picture. I try to ignore such bozos and suggest the same approach for others who might need, or just like, a vocabulary of more than thousand words. |

Sometimes incompatibility with some people isn't such a bad thing.  |

My rule of thumb is: just because a jackass brays at you doesn't mean you gotta stop and engage it in conversation. More pithily: don't talk to every jackass that brays at you. |

(They like ham and cheese sandwiches, but REALLY like granola bars.) |
