That second link explains why certain members of the comic book crowd get so offended when you use big words beyond their comprehension. They are accustomed to books with pictures, sprinkled with a few single-syllable words. Big words like research, discover, and invent have TWO syllables, and worse, they are often used in such taboo subjects as science and mathematics... (heaven forbid!).
