Words are hard :(
And now, the newest addition to the short list of words that don't exist: vainglorious.

Nobody I know has ever used the word vainglorious or vainglory, and I know plenty of writing-type people.

I guess "writers" is another one of those fancy in-ter-lectual-type words that the average person isn't familiar with.

...Or are they trying to say that they know people who are like writers, but not actually writers?

Maybe the explanation is that these "writing-type people" know to dumb down their language whenever mattybee is around, just to avoid the drama.

And he encourages it by inspiring all around him to use words of no more than four letters!
