“Me.” As in: “If you have anything to present, please check with the other supervisor or [del]myself[/del] ME.”
Using “myself” when “me” is appropriate is just stupid. Ergo, using “me” sounds intelligent.
Ahh, I don’t need them fancy words, folks know I be an intralectrical wi’out me rubbin’ it in their faces.
Except the people who actually care. Pronoucing forte, the noun, or dour correctly are passwords for the word nerd club.
You use me; I utilize myself.
Sure, you ivory tower types always stick together. 
You’re saying that most of the people on the Dope write like idiots? Have you seen the rest of the internet?!?
I’m on board with this; I, me, mine, you, yours are all perfectly good words and can still be used; you don’t have to substitute “myself” and “yourself” for all of them.
It seems possible to me - the word you hear and the word you read don’t always match up (and “chaos” is not a bad example of this).
But the poster knew what the word meant. Would s/he have made the connection if s/he heard the word?
Then again, I do know Italian-Americans who don’t know how to pronounce ‘ciao’ when they see it written …
Do most Americans find words of latin origin easier to pronounce - or figure out the pronouncian of - than words of greek origin?
I please guilty to this. To be fair, like so many words that I learned, I learned “forte” by reading. Then I took band in school, where the word was pronounced the Italian way rather than the French way, because, well, it was correct in that context!
provenance, ubiquitous, stuff like that. Not to sound smart, but because that’s simply the way I speak.
shakes tiny fist at Vihaga Curses!
“Sir, the rest of the pack train has reached the camp at the top of the mountain, but the cheesedonkey is balking at the steep trail.”
“Well, compel the brute to utilize the alternate vector, lackey!”
I had a nurse who pronounced forte properly as “fort” and I expressed my delight.
I don’t believe that is what the OP was asking for.
However, if, by using a big word, the additional specificity helps the communication and positions you as clear and confident, then go for it.
If some shmo is inserting extra jargon to dazzle me, I shut down.

No one’s mentioned “inconceivable!” yet?
There aren’t any. I keep my vocabulary as simple as possible. It’s better for everyone.
As an English teacher, I seem to absorb the vocab words from the curriculum and use them without thinking. I also enjoy picking up fun words now and then from my own reading. Sometimes I share them with my students. I know that some use words to seem like pretentious twits, but there is something delightful about a wonderfully selected, specific word, even if you have to look it up.
My current favorites:
Juxtaposition (for those odd comparisons we make in class)
Defenestrate (what I say I will do to students who give away the endings of key books)
Penultimate (because its fun to say)
Eponymous (again…it’s fun)
Strategery.
I used the word ‘precarious’ once, and out of a group of six or seven co-workers, not one knew what I meant.
mmm
Sometimes it’s the opposite for me. For example, I’ll use a word I think most everyone who’s older than 12 would know, like “precocious”, and if my wife is around, she might catch on from the blank faces, and say, he means he thinks your kid’s smart for their age.
I know the words I know, and there are only a handful I’d refrain from using depending on the circumstances, just in case of misinterpretation. (e.g. “nonplussed” or “penultimate”, these are notoriously confusing words, even for educated people.)

The problem is that nobody thinks it means what anybody else thinks it means…
