214/365 (Being Fake)

Fake people are one thing. I don't think some of them even know how be genuine anymore. But what also irks me is little episodes of fake-ness, like fake writing.

By that, I'm mainly referring to two things. One is the little rambles that sound philosophical, and are engineered to sound philosophical, but really don't mean shit. It's the BS which someone writes in order to make themselves sound thoughtful. Sometimes it's hard to tell from the real thing, in which case, at least it's good BS, but that makes the ones that you can tell right off the bat that much worse. Sometimes it's hard to tell from the writing, but easy to tell from the person on account of their personality. Maybe they're just a fake person, or maybe there's no way in hell they'd have the capability to think philosophically. Which sounds weird, because you'd think everyone would have that ability, but they either don't, or they wouldn't be able to phrase it so that it sounded that way.

The other is basically those people who throw in SAT vocab words all over the place. No one ever says "time alleviates" in common conversation. Or in writing, if you think about it, because it just sounds stupid. It's especially annoying if they can't even use the word right. You don't see through your irises. They're the colored part that controls how much light goes into your eye, but you "see" through your pupils. Irises and pupils are not synonyms. Hell, irises isn't even the common plural form of iris. It's supposed to be irides. Don't use words for the hell of sounding smart, and if you really have to, for the love of God, don't use words you don't know.
