I attended a wedding ceremony the other day, and the chap officiating described the event as a "sanctimonious occasion". No one else seemed to have noticed the malapropism, and most were probably impressed that he used a difficult word in his speech.
Big words impress people. Jargon intimidates the feeble minded. Fancy graphics can mask crappy functionality.
Too many people value style over substance and pay the price in the long run.
