Being an intellectual

Being intellectual is.....

using foreign words for simple concepts. This gives profound meaning to your thoughts. If writing be sure to use italics and a Capital letter.

For example why refer to people's different worldviews when you can say:
"Any system chosen as ‘relevant’ is selected by the problem solver in accordance with a particular .... Weltanschauung". i.e. worldview. (Checkland, 1980)

Deep hey?!

Entre nous, your assertion resonates so much so that I proclaim your post a Fait accompli! Which is to say your idea thunk good in my head bone.

Thanks Jerry, you have an interesting blog!

Erika: The language of the intellectual can be very amusing, but also darn irritating too when reading lengthy papers!
