HOW TO SOUND SOPHISTICATED
Follow these simple steps and you'll be a PHD holder in no time!
1. Remember this golden rule:
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
English translation: Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.
Pack your essays and speech with latin terminology and sound smart!
e.g. "ceteris paribus", "per se", "et cetera", "et al", "vis a vis".
2. Words ending with "-tion" make your sentences sound cheem.
e.g.
"We need to promote intellectual stimulation and a culture of rigid documentation within our community."
"His disposition towards laziness placed him in a position of contempt towards assimilation into mainstream society."
"The modification of political constructs such as citizenship and statehood has caused a paradigm shift in academic orientation within the discipline."
Hope this helps! Results not guaranteed.
