: stop TRYING!!! Dictionary.com is not a licence for pedantry!
its license,not licence. rhetorical is speech that is exaggerated. oratory is an eloquent speaker. and though you are not technically speaking because we are on a message board, they share a similiar meaning. and i do not use dictionary.com. i am not showing off. trying to use such big words such as persiflage to try and confuse me. if anyone is pendantric,im afraid to say it is you.
