There's a difference between sounding mature and articulate, or "polished," as you said, and sounding pretentious. Also, just speaking for myself, my writing style on GC is way less formal than it is in my professional life or personal life. I'd imagine that I'm not the exception in this case.

Calling an 18-year old's outfit selection for rush "pond scum" is pretentious and lame. Note that the women on this board have offered suggestions but not judgements. There's a difference!
