I am a lover of the English language, having studied and written in it all my life. It has led me to be a sesquipedalian who delights in precise but sometimes obscure words. The late and philologically erudite Dr Ken Howell had a treatise called "Use the Right Word" and its point is that there is but one absolutely correct word for every idea being written. Sometimes that word is short and common and sometimes it is polysyllabic and uncommon - but using one in place of the other loses meaning.
So...in answer to the original question, when I write I can use my vocabulary to be a clear as possible, or write to the lowest common denominator among us.
Which would apparently mean writing in grunts and single syllables for some of you.
Lol...the definition of "sesquipedalian" is shorter than the word.
