Am I the only one who realizes she uses most of those big words in the wrong context?

^ You aren't. Take 'chagrin', one of her favorite words, as an example. It comes from French, it is a noun and, according to Merriam-Webster, it means: disquietude or distress of mind caused by humiliation, disappointment, or failure. It is certainly not an adjective and it has nothing to do with anger, yet if I'm not mistaken, the expression 'chagrined fury' appeared in Midnight Sun.

In the anti-Twilight wiki Frozen Apples there are many other examples. But I must warn you: it is an anti site and they bash the books, movies, characters, writer... everything. They are sometimes so rude it is not even funny.
