luckily I'm at university with friends who like me are doing Speech Pathology so it's not too bad. But when I'm at most other places I have to dumb down so I hear ya. I do use big words around the kids at work and they learn em and how to apply em fast...which amuses me because they bamboozle the staff. I'm also tickled when I'm shopping etc in the small town I live in and said kids are out and about with their parents and using language and terminology they obviously learned from me.
My niece is 4 and has always been spoken to properly so she has an excellent grasp of language e.g. a couple of months ago:
Me "how is school?"
Her "Fundamenatlly I guess it's ok"
Me "Fundamentally? you know that word?
Her "W-ell I wouldn't use a word if I didn't understand what it meant would I?
Me: "So What does it mean then?"
Her : (frustrated and peevishly) "you know, the basics, at the core of it...why are you even asking me?"
ME: (laughing uncontrollably at her ire) So what do you like about school?
Her " I like colouring in with pens"
Me "Pens?"
Her" In Australia you call them markers or textas in London They're pens...why are you laughing I didn't say anything funny".
She kills me she's so funny
