Plain-Provincial Script

Plain-clear, obvious: "I don't like dogs because they are mean. I was bitten by a Doberman Pinscher yesterday."
Poetic-lyric, melodious, romantic: "Are not dogs man's best friend? Are not dogs man's humblest servant?"
Precise-exact, accurate, decisive: "Well, 60% of all dog attacks result from human provocation. Staring directly at a dog, baring one's teeth at a dog, or running away from a dog will incite 45% of aggressive canines to attack a human."
Pretentious-pompous, gaudy, inflated: "Canines are lowly beasts. Felines are among the most superior species on Earth."
Provincial-rural, rustic, unpolished: "That right there's my dog Butch. He's a mutt; he ain't no Doberman."
