I'd like to provide some alternatives to some highly annoying words (especially rampant in the gaming community) that people tend to use.
Archetype: The most annoying part is that people tend to use this one incorrectly. Its a little try-hard and comes off as someone trying to sound a little too fancy than they need to. In order to prevent sounding like a parrot, try using the word "variant" instead. It might help you to not scare away your next potential girlfriend.
Whilst: Are we in some vampire novel? Did I miss an exit somewhere and end up at a renaissance festival? I know some of you may dress the part, but try using the word "while" instead. That way, if you dress like a dragon-slayer, it will at least sound like your mind is grounded in this reality.
Albeit: Ya, we've all seen the Matrix movies. After reloaded was released, the height of use this word found with the super-nerds entered an entirely new orbit. Try using the word "although" instead. It comes across much better.
While we're giving recommendations on being pro-social: giving people unwanted advice in an insulting fashion is probably not going to get you invited to parties.

God forbid people communicate differently and people think differently and like different things, or we might all be as ass tight as OP

my guess is he was picked on in English class and this is his revenge.
I thought you were going to provide tips that would help people improve their ability to communicate in written English.
Whilst I do enjoy the occasional archetypal rant, I'm locking this toxic albeit slightly amusing thread before it gets out of hand.
