I wouldn't waste my time O.
Being chastised by rfc's expert on literally everything is almost like
a badge of honour. Particularly when this expert's posts are rife with
errors in spelling, grammar, semantics, syntax, etc., etc., not to
mention they often contain incorrect information.
Using the short paragraph shown above as an example, rather than try
to use fancy words, I might say:
Just a little detail; there is no such word as surplants (sic) and
using such a non-word makes one appear uneducated and calls into
question one's credibility.
