Oh, I'm sorry, I was under the illusion you were an actual dentist. You're basically a cosmetic surgeon of teeth then.... You basically make things pretty rather than any actual work to benefit people, No?
Please feel free to clarify as I'm certain you will if experience serves right.
Ya know, Just sayin'

I paid my dues when I was young working in remote Aboriginal communities and prisons. Altruistic work is over rated when you get called a white cunt and your nurse told she will be raped in her sleep. Care factor evapourates when you realise the guy crying in the surgery molested 10 kids and is in for 15 years. Much more satisfying getting gropey hugs from young women and middle age divorcees who appreciate your skills.

Oh, I don't even know nor even care to know who this Russell Brand fellow is. All I want to truly know is when, if ever, these same dozen or so people who get irrationally miffed and unreasonably irate over my above-average communicative proficiency and verbal agility will ever stop mentioning his name (along with 'supercilious', 'sesquipedalian', and 'pretentious'—words so unduly used and overdone that I propose them be exscinded from the English language and have their use constitute a criminal offence, and that we should reinstate the application of execution by hanging, drawing, and quartering for any blatant transgression thereof. I mean, good lord above! Are these all the words you pitiably boring troglodytes have in your lexicons?).
And if it's any consolation, I'm a an arrant dipsomaniac and am usually drunk (or on some GABAergic like barbs, benzos, etc.) when I post on this forum. I have way too much anxiety to express my opinions in public unless being at least moderately inebriated. So don't take my superiority too seriously, nor let it damage your ego. At the end of the day, I'm just a souse, so you can still feel good about yourselves.

Fuck me mate your thesaurus must take a hammering.
Personally I don't like wine....or know that many big.words but I'm just a lowly NHS worker who still after nearly 20 years hasn't been tainted with cynicism (big word - i looked it up) and still sees some benefit in altruism and the greater good....
Pfft..but what would I know. IMHO however.... Your a fucking arrogant tool bro and perhaps a sad lonely fool who hides behind big.words and a dictionary?? ..Just saying you know

... and severely lacking communication and non-existant social skills
Am I lacking non-existent social skills or do I have non-existent social skills or are my social skills non-existent? Each of these three interpretations are equally valid, based on your comment, and differ in meaning. Just in case you're daft or slow-witted, the first means a lack of something that does not exist; the second means the possession of something that does not exist; and the third means the lack of something that could possibly exist. In most cases and with most people, it is not possible to both be clever and ambiguous simultaneously. Sadly, this is one such case and you're one such person.
Really?!?

What does that supposed to mean, precisely? If the implication is that drunkenness lessens or attenuates a writer's grammar, spelling, or vocabulary then that's a sophistic, stereotyped notion. I actually find I tend to write better whilst intoxicated; words seem easier to conjure up, I have less tip-of-the-tongue syndrome, writer's block is practically nonexistent, my elocution (in speech) is much less cluttered and much more fluent (almost glib, even), and the speed with which I indite a text is quicker and less encumbered.
In fact, one of the reasons I drink so much alcohol is for its seemingly magical properties it has on my linguistic aptitude and expressive ability. Normally, my social anxiety would act as a hindrance to using language eloquently and dexterously. But with alcohol, there is no stammering, stuttering, cluttering, malapropisms, pressured speech, eggcorns, spoonerisms, nor many other speech errors that accompany intercommunication amongst the socially anxious, awkward, inelegant, or gauche. It's a fantastic thing, this liquor. All my foibles, troubles, hangups, and muck ups are soluble in a bottle of ethanol.
And while it might not show, I do indeed drink quite heavily—a litre per day on the average, or thereabouts, of 40+% ABV drink. This is with concurrent use of GABAergics, like secobarbital, triazolam, or methaqualone.
It's almost 4:00 p.m where I'm living this very moment, and I've already managed to imbibe about one 750 ml bottle of Arrack (Arrack is a generic term for a type of Arab liquor mostly consumed in South Asia (say, Indonesia, Bangladesh where I'm at currently, Sri Lanka, Philippines, etc.) and has a flavor somewhat similar to that of a rum or a whiskey). I just purchased this exquisite bottle about 1:00 p.m. Truthfully, my motor skills are vastly more impaired from alcohol than are my critical thinking or language faculties.

It certainly did when I first began learning English, about 13 years ago when I was 8 years old. I assiduously read and memorised synonyms and antonyms so that I could make learning English more difficult and thus interesting, challenging myself to have at least 5 synonyms and 5 antonyms in my active lexicon for each word or lexeme in a typical English swadesh list. I find language acquisition more enjoyable and effective if I learn the language's 5,000 or so most common words (along with their appropriate pronunciation, which is facilitated by using their IPA, or international phonetic alphabet, transliterations), then, after solidly committing them all to long-term memory, I approach the language's grammar or morphology and the aspects of its phonology and phonetics less shallow or superficial than mere pronunciation.
Same here. Not for the taste though, since I expect all alcohol to taste horrible. Rather, it's prohibitively expensive to buy, per litre of pure ethanol, than, say, brandy or whiskey or vodka. I can buy a 750 ml bottle of Bacardi Rum 151 (75.5% ABV) for about $30.00USD, whereas the cheapest wines of similar volume are around 1/6th the ABV but only half the price. Thus, one pays more for less alcohol per ml per bottle.
Let's suppose a particular bottle containing 750 ml affordable wine has a sale price of $15USD and an ABV of 12%. This means essentially that there are 90 ml ethanol in each 750 ml bottle, as 90 is 12% of 750. Now, a full litre of affordable vodka may retail for $25USD and have an ABV of roughly 40%. The vodka can be said to contain 400 ml ethanol per litre, as 40% of 1000 ml is 400 ml. So we have 90 ml ethanol per 750 ml wine for 15$ vs 400 ml ethanol per 1000ml vodka for 25$. Thus, the price per ml of ethanol for wine is $0.16 and for vodka is about $0.06—almost 1/3rd the price of wine per ml ethanol.
And what really is there about wine that is so valuable as to warrant its higher retail price? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing, is what.
I dunno what NHS is, nor how:
A.) occupation has any influence on vocabulary size. The latter usually affects the former, but not vice versa. In other words, knowing many words is correlated with higher paying or more prestigious jobs, but that is only because vocabulary size is effected by level of education and intelligence, and education and intelligence directly effect one's available careers in more than a few ways.
B.) altruism and cynicism are apropos of vocabulary size. In what manner is this connected? You apparently think there is some kind of connection, otherwise you would not have mention them together in one sentence.
Well, considering you are probably twice my age (you've claimed to have been an NHS worker for 20 years, and I've only been alive for 21), a native Anglophone, and still cannot differentiate between 'your' and 'you're', I'd presume you know very little.

If you thought I would use cooking wine and not a decent bottle you're kidding yourself. Cheap wine is only good for the kids table at xmas

NHS stands for national health service in which I work as a paramedic,
Also I can differentiate between you're and your but I'm using a phone which often changes words.
The rest of your post was such utter drivel I didn't bother reading it.
I wonder what you think you're achieving by these pointless pretentious posts?....
Unless wanting to appear a total fucking tool was your aim....in which case well done, you've managed it.
You don't live in a little bedroom at your mum's house perchance do you?
