My interpretation was bending the truth in order to better suit your point (or just out and out lying). That, I guess, leads to the more general idea of using those lies to create a false image of who you really are. So, since we go by personalities more than physical displays here, if a person's word is bullshit then that person is bullshit.

Honestly Haunted...
I really wouldn't worry about it. Why be self-conscious about what you say? There are people who consistently say things that come off as less than intelligent on here...and they don't seem to watch what THEY say ;)
I just don't think you should try and "dumb yourself down" for fear of people thinking you sound too intelligent or something...

I definately don't think you're full of shit b/c you have a good vocabulary. Everyone on here types in a different style. As long as it's genuine, reflecting who you really are...and you're not elaborating just for the sake of it...you shouldn't feel the need to hide it. :)

I think a person can come across as a complete jackass with, or without an "impressive" vocabulary.
I dunno, I like to think that my command of the language is at least proficient, but on numerous occasions I've been confronted by people that evidently feel threatened by this...I've been told things like I'm condescending, or think I'm better than others...etc simply because I throw around a few more syllables, and take the time to speak in more of an eloquent manner than some others do.
In all honesty, I hate anyone thinking they can judge me one way or the other on account of how I talk/type...it reeks of confidence issues, and it's just bullshit that's more often than not slung by the people that don't really know you in the first place...it's like some weird, warped kinda bigotry.
I use spell check, I don't claim perfection.
I like to express my point to the fullest and most accurate extent at times, and people I've encountered in the past acting as though you should be ashamed of this, well...they're petty asses, no more to say. Sure, if I'm arguing with someone, I can be an asshole and point out spelling/grammar mistakes...but I generally refrain from doing so unless someone that clearly can't hold their own, tries to...and when I do, it's usually so I can laugh at their reactions some more.

As for falsely representing yourself, lying or "inventing" facts about yourself in order to be preceived as something you're not...it just seems too pointless to bother with. I myself don't pretend. Most everyone that knows me, and even some of those that don't, know that I'm a 24 year old guy that's fucked around throughout a large portion of his life, and is just starting to get things together now. Cooking enthusiast who's on his way to being a chef, that digs horror and foreign films, loves animals, smokes weed here and there, hates crowds, and preferrs to just hang with friends watching movies and listening to music than to go "out" to a club/pub, or any of that other shit. Most also know I'm pretty laid-back, and I don't hesitate to say up front what I mean....sure, sometimes I get in the kind of moods that can have me zoom from zero to complete CUNT within seconds, yep...occasionally I take shit out on the wrong people, but hey, I always make it right with those that are worth the time, and I generally try to be cool with most people. Yeah, I can shit-stir, but hey...I never try and deny any of this stuff.
So yeah, those that know fuck-all about me probably have some idea by now, no lies, no bullshit, no pretending to be something I'm not, as has always been the case.
But yeah, I've seen some obvious misrepresentations...but essentially I see no point in the end. Lies are harder to keep up with than the truth, and if you intend to actually make any friends in life, you only make doing so hard on y'self.

As for the percentage question, no number % , but I have three people in particular that come to mind here, but there's no need mentioning who they are or anything...I'm not talking about liars in particular, or those that misrepresent themselves, those that are full of themselves, or generally "full of shit"...because those that I'm thinking of are in fact a little of each.

Ok....that was a big post....Apologies for eating up the page.

- B.

I know all about using spell check, and I appreciate people who do and openly admit it. I use spell check, a dictionary, and a thesaurus. It just goes back to my days writing essays and articles.

I'm sorry I got confused. I was worried that "bullshit" would be termed as being silly, which I do frequently.

I really try really good and hard not to misrepresent myself to the crew here. I mean, it ultimately depends on the thread. If the topic is silly, then I try to take that tone. If the thread is a bit more serious, then I try to put on that hat. I wish to be nothing more the completely candid when I represent myself, even if that means debasing my character and exposing a few of my many flaws.

I would like to say, thank you MoonLit. I appreciate your wonderful attempts to make me feel better. They helped me TO feel better and articulate this post to clarify myself. Love to you, sister!

Awwwww. You're very welcome. Your typing style IS who you are...because it reflects you as a person :) You should never be self-conscious about that.

You SHOULD, however, be self-conscious about your face in your new avatar...I mean, seriously Haunted...once your face starts growing green fungus...you should think about washing it;)

HAR....HAR....HAR HAR HAR ;) I'm lame.:p ;)

I am officially sticking my tongue out at you, MM :p . Your spelling and grammar are fine. (As a matter of fact, I made a grammatical error before I editted this post.)

Oh, and Moonlit, don't be insulting the woman the myth the legend. She rawks! Just give her the damn ruby shoes for fuck's sake!:D :D ;)
