We’ve all seen the “I’m very smart” people who come to social media, use random vocabulary vomit because they want to sound smart, and it happens here a lot. I agree with you, that’s great if you can, and I won’t say you “have to dumb yourself down”, but often they do it to sound smart and want to feel superior because they think most people understand.

Actually a lot of people do understand them, they’re just eye rolling at how pretentious they’re being.

There’s a balance. After all why use many word when some word do trick?
