Use a word that's too "fancy", like the word purchased...you're just trying to sound smart.
Funny how you assume value judgement.
There are people on this earth (I kid you not) who can discuss something without assigning a value judgement.
Yes, someone using purchase in written form and buy in spoken word is stilting their language. There's nothing wrong with it, since writing is a bit more of a deliberate act, but it is true.
