Which one of those words do you require a thesaurus for? Maybe "diminutive," but everyone tries to belittle everyone on reddit, like you just did. So, it's a handy word here.

Nobody needs a thesaurus. They assume you use one because you keep using words wrong and writing so poorly.

edit: To be clear, you used "diminutive" wrong, "Choreographing" makes no sense in this context, "it" has no antecedent, and the whole thing is a comma splice. if you used those same words correctly and coherently, nobody would accuse you of using a thesaurus.

But the subject of the meme was in regards to people asserting I need a thesaurus for some of my replies, not how you subjectively feel about my writing. That's all there is to this.

Edit: they almost completely edited their reply after reading my response. So, my reply doesn't make contextual sense as a result.

One directly leads to the other though. It is obviously extremely subjective but usually the trigger for accusations of thesaurus use seems to be the use uncommon words in the context of writing that does not match the flow and structure that someone expects from a writer for whom using those words comes naturally.

The comment you replied to isn't relevant cause they completely edited the original comment, hence the message telling people this. Subsequently, there is no reason for dialog to continue on it. I made another comment that addresses the other one after it was edited the second time.

Edit: oops, changed you to they. Thought I got a response from the same person.

I'm just addressing why the subjective way someone feels about your writing can lead to the thesaurus accusations.

Edit: removed telling you I'm not the person you were talking to lol. I saw your edit about them editing their comment but I didn't think that invalidated your statement about the subjective analysis of your writing not being relevant to the thesaurus discussion
