right? I had to check myself: "am i that pretentious that I use this many words average people don't know?"and there's no good way to ask that question without sounding even more pretentious

Yeah no, you're fine, I'm an ESL speaker (although for 17 years) so they can't be that special. But verve and eyrie (seen elsewhere in this thread, from Tolkien) those I actually had to search up. Haha my browsers spellcheck even puts squiggles under eyrie.

weird! never seen the spelling "eyrie" but I'd probably be fine with understanding "aerie" from context. I looked it up too and apparently that's the same word but ae is NA style
