I realize that, I just have this thing about when people use long complex words or phrases to sound "smart" and possibly being used wrong.

Did you know that people using "long complex words or phrases to sound smart" is just as annoying as people nit-picking their every thought in an attempt to one-up them? It's true!

I'm also shocked at your insinuation that Jonathan Blow is not an intelligent individual. Just, :lol: .

I'm saying from my point of view, from what I read, that Orthogonality was used wrong. Does that make Jonathan Blow a moron? No, it doesn't. And if people didn't "nit-pick" at details, there wouldn't be any improvement to an authors' writing.

I don't think a man's personal musings on the nature of puzzles in video games requires my or your "improvements".

I was talking about people writing stuff in general. Every little detail matters no matter how annoying it is to hear about. Even as you put it to be "personal musings," it doesn't hurt to be accurate. (This whole Orthogonality thing will stick to me till the day I die)

Ahaha, you remind me so much of a YouTube comment I wrote recently. Except that was more about complaining in general - people just need to have a rant sometimes.
