lol, wut?

After all, The New York Times always uses words people are familiar with, like "louche" and "shibboleths."

lol....

Corbett noted that not everyone uses the micro-blogging site and therefore may not be familiar with what a "tweet" is.

because its too much work to familiarize yourself with "tweet" as opposed to the $10 words in the previous quote. got it.
