As a writer, I find it REALLY annoying when people use big words, when small ones will do.
When people take 100 words to say something that could be said in 20.
When poeple make themselves feel smarter by making sure no one understands them.
Because at the end of the day, aren't the smartest people the ones who speak to their audience? The ones who use the plainest language to get their point across?
Hence, my quote for the day:
"Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood. "
William Penn
