>O.K now I'll add my two cents on this one.

I have heard people using the word "complexify" lately. EEPS. I don't
know why "complicate" doesn't seem to say it any more. The other one that
bugs me is "theoretitian." How is that different from a theorist? I have
no qualms about creating and using words to express things or concepts that
do not already have adequate words for them, but when we have words for
things or concepts that seem to express the thought adequately why choose
the words that are longest and most difficult to spell? Heres another one:
"orientate."
