99.5% of words are pointless and shouldn't exist
Check out the thesaurus entries for a few basic words some time and you will agree!
Research language reference book contents for scarcely any elemental vocables on one occasion and you will concede!!

I disagree, alot of those less-used words are territorialized. That means that they are specialized (not necessarily jargon). Their rarity keeps them that way. It's much easier for someone to read the word *idiota* and then for them it conjurs a specific chain of symbols and meanings, because academia has territorialized the word in specific ways. It is very specific. Poly ticks is constantly trying to territorialize vocabulary (e.g. liberal and conservative). The more often used words suffer from this politicization and constant redefinition. Therefore, they lack specificity. The legal world uses this process of territorialization in order that there is coherance and consistancy to the law ,stare decisis.
Just my two cents.

Sometimes, subtlety can be so subtle that even after spelling it out, the obvious word that Steve's referring to.......can be subtly posted.

It's cool how you can select a word and auto-google it. Unfortunately that didn't help me this time

One may argue, that 100% of human existence is pointless.
Let us pretend however
That were it true

WP was the perfect tool to teach you HTML. The Reveal Codes were awesome, and helped clean up a lot of things that are a sheer and total pain in Word, and one reason why I don't use it ... adding codes on its own, and you can't find them!
