"For those who don't know the word I looked it up:
calumnious - adjective formal
(of a statement) false and defamatory; slanderous:
"all of these charges are false and calumnious" · "I was disgusted by their calumnious attack on my son's integrity"
That guy whose name is similar to mine likes big words. I guess it confuses the person you are talking to and makes him feel stupid when, in actual fact, you could have used more common words so that everybody understood what you are saying.
"I'd rather be a dumb member of the team than a guy who doesn't fit on the team and is untrustworthy."
Communication is important, especially if you are giving advice. Confusion doesn't really make you sound more intelligent. It just means that a lot of people miss your message.
Maybe it's time for me to give some advice to Robert of the Holy Rosary.
You won't convert people to your beliefs by confusing them. Good grammar helps to get your message across too. Bad grammar will not make you look super intelligent, even if you throw in some unusual words.
Thanks to Richard (of RBB) for lending me his blog so that I could give you this advice."

Richard (of RBB) here now.
I accidentally left a bit off my music theory advice.
Here it is:
Pentatonic and blues scales.
The C major pentatonic scale has the notes C D E G A.
The relative minor (A minor) has the notes A C D E G.
The relative blues scale has the notes A C D D# E G.
Ciao tutti.

That's right I'd forgotten about those two scales...though would I be right to say that the blues scale is a pentatonic with a few grace notes?
I'm surprised that you aren't fighting the dumbing down of our language being a grammatical person.
You don't have to say everything twice.
Penta = five and tonic = tone, but I thought a guy with your vocabulary would know that.
RBB
Oh, and our language is not a grammatical person.
RBB
I wouldn't call a #4 a grace note.
RBB
Neither would the the I, ha ha, the the. Hey! The the wasn't Grace Note the lead the the singer the the in the the The Jefferson Airplane ?*
*The the ...
The The The guy.
Is it's RBB's tyrannical culture that makes the poor The Guy stutter so?
Or Robert's shocking grammar?
TC now thinks he is The The The Guy! This decluttering seems to be having an effect on him.
I'm surrounded by idiots!
Maybe it’s just those mirrors in the bathroom.
TC
The plumbers might take them down for you.
