I just found the dumbest word in human creation, "cerebration."  If you don't know, it means the act or product of thinking.  How many times have you ever heard someone walk up to you and say, "Hey guess what!  I just had a cerebration!"  Until today I didn't even know the word existed, and I sort of wish it had stayed that way.

I'm all for big words.  I like the word 'quixotic', and found it very useful when my sister started dating.  I find seldom used words like 'abhor' descriptive enough to add to my every day language.  I do not see the use of a confusing long winded and positively scientific sounding word to replace something so simple as 'thought'.  It drives me up the wall.  I don't "cerebrate" I just think

As writer's we're supposed to embrace language, but am I the only one who thinks its time to go through the dictionary and make some deletions? Come on. There's got to be limits.
