Someone just forwarded a whole list of funny quotes, these two apply here:

"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the
dictionary."- William
Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway)

"Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?"
- -- Ernest Hemingway
(about William Faulkner)

Me? I am embarrassing, 28 years in this country and I still speak with an 
accent. I guess when they handed out the rolling r gene, I was out 
practicing calligraphy or something.
