How to use "Pretentiousness" in context?
There is no single definition for pretentiousness, and it can be employed to describe a wide range of personalities and actions. Some people may be pretentious because they believe that they are superior to others, while others may be pretentious because they enjoy dressing up in fancy clothes and behaving in a way that seems artificial. In either case, pretentiousness can be a self-centered attitude that can be annoying and off-putting.
