(45) I love big words. Recently I've become a fan of "emblematic" and "problematic." Using those two words can make just about anything sound academic. Example: "The financial troubles at the Palm Beach Post are emblematic of the larger struggles in journalism in general. Increasing staff cuts could make current circulation problematic."
For those who don't like academic-ese, I'm also a fan of malaprops--if it's any consolidation.
