Yes, now I've.

So, would you say that magniloquent and sesquipedalism are almost the same? Do these terms mean using long, bombastic words in speech, etc?

Does logorrhea mean "repeating the same thought (incoherently) in an essay, speech etc?



Please shed some more light on these.

The former means bombastic. The latter means long.

Not necessarily the same thought.
