There's a strong anti-intellectual aspect to American society that doesn't do us much credit on every level. I think the use of "brilliant" is pretty silly, but we could learn a thing or two from the fluency with the language that even pretty average Britons seem to have. The ones I've seen with any amount of intelligence at all who come over here don't fight so hard to keep their vocabulary small, and the result is they speak more naturally in a way. In America, unfortunately, dumb is cool, and attempts to be anything else get frowned on as terminally unhip or just snooty. It kind of makes speaking suck when people have the right word at hand, but then have to actually search their minds to find a dumber way to say what they mean.
