David, please consider that English is not the native language of everybody.
I took a lot of effort to learn your language, it would be appropriate if
you would try from your side to make it more easy for non natives to
understand you.
Instead of mocking about GerardM's English, please do the following:
- use a common word instead of a difficult one, if it exists
- make no jokes or ironic references that require a specific national
background to understand
- be as short as possible to express your message
Nothing that cannot be asked from a good Wikipedian, isn't it? :-)

It is not that I am not able to look up words in
a dictionary.. When an
excess of dificult word is used, the message is lost.
None of these were excessively difficult, and now you know more English
words.
