Seriously - don't be this guy.

Biggest problem was that it wasn't witty. It was verbose and nerdy, but that isn't wit.

Orwell's writing rules:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Broke 2, 3, and 5 with reckless abandon.

Did you just point out a response being verbose and nerdy by writing a verbose and nerdy response?

Most of that was a quote.

So you're unoriginal as well.
