<p>College5812, you used as your first example of "using every impressive word that you could to sound smart" a quote from me about feeling like a crustacean.</p>
<p>Correct me if I am wrong, but crustacean is a word used by the common folk. In fact, I think I've seen it used in Disney movies. Or was afternoon the impressive word from that first example?</p>
<p>Byerly also said something about a thesaurus. I don't get it. These are really common words.</p>
<p>Time to shut down this thread.</p>
<p>But the school of architecture building at yale is so ugly!
While the GSD, ahhh.... those "trays", the open space, such a wonderful place to work - and near broadway market no less!</p>
<p>this is such a stupid discussion. Just my 2 cents. Who cares if Harvard is better than Yale in arch... or Yale is better than Harvard? All truth is relative. What's true for one person isn't always true for another.</p>
<p>THIS is the "ugly monstrosity" of which I spoke, and it was not designed by Stern (who did the Business School addition) but by Machado and Silvetti Associates.</p>
<p>Both principals in the firm are, I'm ashamed to say, professors at the GSAD.</p>
<p>The building is nominally known as "1 Western Avenue", and serves as grad student housing. Locally it is known as "Nausea on the Charles."</p>
<p>To Yale.edu- your absolutely right, I used a poor example. However, thank you for proving my point that your a condescending pric:</p>

<p>your absolutely right

<p>You're setting yourself up here, but I won't take a swing. And I wasn't condescending, yet I was a bit offended that you would hound me for using the word "crustacean". Honestly, most people have every word I've used in their basic vocabulary. I'm sorry if my about-average vocabulary offends you on some level.</p>
<p>"I'm sorry if my about-average vocabulary offends you on some level." Yale.edu</p>
<p>Thanks for supporting my point. I have a feeling that you will fit in perfectly at Yale.</p>
<p>For the first time ever, you'll hear me saying:</p>
<p>Thanks, Byerly</p>
<p>I had assumed you were talking about the new Spangler Center, which is a huge building, but an absolutely gorgeous one. (I hadn't heard about further construction - other than Baker Library, which Stern's office is also handling - at the Business School.) The building in your link merits its nickname...</p>
<p>(by the way, for any interested, here's the link about the Spangler Center: <a href="http://www.ramsa.com/campus_centers.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.ramsa.com/campus_centers.htm</a> )</p>
<hr>
<p>crimsonbulldog - The A&A Building is going to be renovated by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and Richard Meier has designed an expansion...in a few years, it will be wonderful. Like it or not, it is a landmark (a bit too brutalist for me, but not bad) in American architecture.</p>
<p>Thanks for supporting my point. I have a feeling that you will fit in perfectly at Yale.</p>
<p>Yeah... because people outside of Yale don't understand the big words I'm using. Like "afternoon".</p>
<p>You guys need better hobbies. :|</p>
<p>yeah seriously. stop bickering. its stupid, its immature. for people who pride themselves on being la creme de la creme of academia in the US, this is surprisingly puerile.</p>
<p>I agree... I simply responded in a not-even-witty way to Byerly, and then get attacked by a third party for using big words like "crustacean".</p>
<p>Move on dude. :| It's not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>OK... I don't think I implied is was a big deal though. I was more implying that it was funny. ;)</p>
<p>Winking from another male freaks me out:|</p>
<p>Really? That's bizarre... why do you think you have that insecurity?</p>
<p>I'm not sure, why do you have a tendency to wink at males?</p>
<p>I don't know if you're male or female, and why would I care? I don't share any insecurities you may have about your sexual identity. Winking has many meanings outside of your high school, and doesn't always have a flirty connotation (and surely it wouldn't in a conversation on CC).</p>
<p>Besides, why are you even assuming that I am male? I've never implied that's the case, nor should it matter.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you're a male. Are you arguing otherwise?</p>
<p>You're being pretty defensive about this. I'm told male-to-male winkers share that characteristic.</p>
