Yes but any more than 3 syllables and one runs the risk of sounding like a pretentious pr1ck and I'm sure you wouldn't want that. 😉

Why would you want to restrict usage of the wondrous English language , in that narrow minded way??
That's the sort of thing that only narrow minded, uneducated sorts would come up with..
Surely you're not suggesting some kind of peasantish, dumbing down of discourse??

Hahaha, you are delusional
"Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion since 2010, insisted she has done nothing wrong, but said she cannot comment further as investigations by the parliamentary commissioner for standards are confidential."

This is one of the rare occasions on which I miss Paley. At least he knew the difference between a lie and a misrepresentation.

So that's why he gave up fighting to defend the indefensible!

No. And you are still misrepresenting. She knew the rules, and was aware of other cases where the rules had been applied in a way that she thought was fair and reasonable. After the investigation the point was clarified for all MPs and she apologised for her misunderstanding.
I'm not sure that you know what a lie is.
Lie:
It cannot be evidenced that Corbyn lied about the virgin train or antisemitism within his party. Caroline Lucas did not lie as she had no intent to decieve.
Boris on the other hand stated that he didn't know he had broken the rules that he set and announced, he did not know he was at his own birthday party etc etc.
Boris is a liar. He cannot sue for slander if he is called a liar as he has been proved a liar both in court and in his previous jobs where he has been sacked for his lies. He is a serial teller of untruths.

'Pretentious' - a four-syllable (if enunciated correctly) word meaning to affect behaviours, attitudes and mannerisms that are not genuine - ie to pretend to be that which you are not.
What is it you imagine I am, that I am pretending not to be, then, eh? And what's any of this got to do with a pack of obsequious, grovelling little creeps lying their sorry little arses off to defend an appalling, amoral sack of Eton-educated pus and faeces?

This thread has become weird.
We have one poster desperately trying to defend Johnson by claiming ALL politicians lie on the same industrial scale as him.
And we have another poster who won't use long words in case it makes them look too clever.
Inapprehensible ludicrousness.

Ah, so she knew the rules, but deliberately ignored them because they didn't suit her at the time?
Got it.
But first she said she had done nothing wrong (Guardian quote up the thread). As you have just said she did know the rules, then she is a liar isn't she?
Well there is Virgin train video of the event, when he walked past empty chairs, sat on the floor to be videoed, then went back to the same empty chairs and sat down. How much more proof do you want?
And just to check, did you really type that he didn't lie about anti-semitism in the Labour party?
And you know this for a fact how exactly?

No. She knew the rules and applied the rules based on what other people had done applying the same rules. She was then somewhat surprised that she had been found to have breached the rules, which were not specific enough it would appear.
Yes, because as far as she was aware she had done nothing wrong.
As is explained in the link, many of the chairs looked empty as their occupant was elsewhere or were ticketed. Unless you have proof positive that Corbyn was trying to deceive, then this one is not proof of lying.
In the same way that you know it not to be a fact. i.e. it cannot be proven. Following the standard process of innocent until proven guilty, that (for the time being) lets Corbyn off the hook.
Unlike Boris who demonstrably lied multiple times and is on video doing so.
