So, words such as: "unnul", "anon", and "altruistic" are big words, just because they are uncommonly used by some. Well, they're within the English phraseology, so why not make them common. For me it is habitual >_>

Big does imply size. It would be more accurate to say abnormal.

Because people are stupid. If they purposely type "u" instead of "you", then it too much to ask them to use uncommon words…

I'm not just refering to myself either. A plethora of people do use "big words" as you say, in common converations. Though, it would be nonsensical and fairly inaccurate for both of us to assume. I use different words, at times,out of habit, or to shorten my statements :\Uncommonly used by most, actually. Not some. I'm talking about the big picture, not just you.
Besides, after a while, it starts becoming annoying if you purposely try to talk using uncommon synonyms. It's fine in essays, etc, but IRL, people just start thinking "why do you use words like that, instead of using simpler words with the same meaning and letting others understand you better."
You truly think that I am purposely trying to top intelligence?It's not just all big kids around here, you know. And trying to PURPOSELY top intelligence just gets annoying sometimes o.o if it's habitual, that's another story~
but still~~

;o; No no!! I didn't mean it like that!! I hope I didn't offend you!! I'm sorry!!You truly think that I am purposely trying to top intelligence?
I take offense to that. ;_;
Though, if you wanted me to limit my vocabulary, you could have just asked. I wasn't going to unless it became an inconvineince for someone and they felt compelled to request it of me.
