We're hardly butchering English here, Brain, if you can at least comprehend what we're saying. I assume the average person takes English Comprehension in high school.
As for the rest of the country, who cares what they think? Part of having self-esteem is knowing your own worth despite what others think. This applies to your vocabulary as well. I know I'm smart and no one, not even you, will convince me otherwise. I'd like to think this as an example to others who don't feel as confident as I do.
