	"Vocabulary" does not ever take a zero-plural form. Thus, you are clearly using the noun in the singular form, not plural. Since it's not plural, you need an article (indefinite - "a"). As in, "With a 98th percentile vocabulary". That would be grammatically correct; although still a bald-faced lie. My word, this is surely the Best Grammar Wank EVER! (Reply to this)

	top of head explodes Holy mother of Cthulhu. I couldn't believe WOTD wank existed, but that was before I read the thing. breathes out It's funny - I should be extremely irritated by staircase_wit's IQ wank, but I think conculcate's use of the word 'retard' in reference to, well, anyone, maxed something out in my brain.

	Wow, that was a wank change up even! Early on, I was certain it was entirely conculcate being the spooger, but then staircase_wit spooged forth with quite impressive show! Really though, it's obv. what he meant in the original post. So fine, he meant "-scent" rather then "-escent", but nascent is still a valid inclusion in the group. Grammar wank just makes me all giddy. (Reply to this)(Thread)

I think this was the best thing about the wank, apart from its volume, the fact that you thought you knew where the wank was going to be coming from, and then it catches you entirely by surprise (if you'll forgive the potentially disturbing imagery). I love nothing more than a pissing contest where people offer to get out their IQ scores or school results or how many giraffe stamps they got in kindergarten.

	The volume in relation to the alleged offense is really quite amazing, but a surprise ending wank is my favourite. I mean really, LotR wank or HP wank, you almost always know where it's going, but this, this was GENIUS. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I had to go back and enjoy it all over again. Just the phrase "word of the day wank" makes me giggle. Plus the really nice thing about this is that it's not one-sided. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I enjoyed this little comparison. Wordwank makes Latinate roots cry. (Reply to this)

	Personally, I'm surprised that staircase_wit's ass is big enough to contain both his head and a thesaurus. Man, I've never seen that much wank over absolutely nothing. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I still don't know what I did wrong. I asked for a list of words with a similar sound that could discribe the ontological condition of a thing. Somehow, this started a flame war, in which I did my best to defend myself. Why are you so hostile towards me? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Actually, I was totally with you until the 'garnishing antipathy from neurotypicals' part. Their inability to let the 'ascent'/'escent' thing go was completely ridiculous, but I have to say that it's equally wanky to A) claim that people only disagree with you because they're stupider than you, and B) use several mutli-syllabic words when a shorter ones would suffice. Using that many big words for no reason makes you look incredibly pretentious.
