[Black Pill] massive subhuman trait

what are some words people pluralize for no reason to sound smart

Here are some of the most common words that people (especially in corporate, academic, or pseudo-intellectual settings) randomly slap an “-s” on to sound more sophisticated, even though the singular is already correct or more natural:

1. Evidence → “evidences” Correct: “The evidence shows…” Pretentious: “The evidences clearly indicate…”
   
2. Research → “researches” Correct: “More research is needed.” Pretentious: “We conducted several researches…”
   
3. Feedback → “feedbacks” Correct: “I’d like some feedback.” Pretentious: “Please send me your feedbacks.”
   
4. Staff (when meaning personnel) → “staffs” Correct: “The staff is overworked.” Pretentious: “We have multiple staffs across departments.”
   
5. Fruit (when talking about types/kinds in general) → “fruits” Correct: “Fruit and vegetables” Pretentious: “Exotic fruits such as mango, papaya, and dragonfruit…”
   
6. Legislation → “legislations” Correct: “New legislation was passed.” Pretentious: “Several new legislations are in the pipeline.”
   
7. Machinery → “machineries” Correct: “The machinery needs maintenance.” Pretentious: “We upgraded our machineries.”
   
8. Information → “informations” Correct: “Here’s the information you requested.” Pretentious: “I have several informations for you.”
   
9. Offspring → “offsprings” Correct: “Humans typically have one offspring at a time.” Pretentious: “They have three offsprings.”
   
10. Baggage / Luggage → “baggages” / “luggages” Correct: “My baggage was lost.” Pretentious: “Passengers with excess baggages will be charged.”
    

Bonus round – verbs turned into unnecessary plural nouns:

• “Ask” → “asks” (“One of my main asks is…”)
  
• “Deliverable” → “deliverables” (even when there’s only one)
  
• “Learn” → “learns” (“Key learns from this project…”)
  
• “Output” → “outputs” (fine when plural, but people use it even for one thing)
  

It’s the linguistic equivalent of wearing a tuxedo T-shirt: trying way too hard to look fancy.
