Actually, I don't care what you write in. Sometimes I understand your posts,
sometimes I don't. I have to see some evidence of payoff before I research
bombastic vocabulary. But as for English:
I'm pretty sure en petit is French and Mirriam-Webster doesn't show it. I
thought jejune was French also but M-W has that so I did learn one new English
word. I wonder if the opportunity to use it will arrive before it fades from
memory.
Coloro che sanno is apparently Latin.
You identified dietrologia as Italian.
Your remedy is an equal opportunity one.

All this is by the way. Mr Schwarz wants me to write my posts in a species of
subliterate English he judges appropriate. I demur, as I have in the past;
and, as I have noted in the past too, he has an immediate remedy at hand. He
can put my email address on his kill list, which will make me an unperson to
him and spare him the sight of my posts.
