life is complicated and so are motivations. But language is ambiguous when you aren't as precise as possible things get misinterpreted.
Lots of Americans hate any "SAT" word or word that comes from reading a news paper. But there's a reason we have such diversity and synonyms. They do carry weight and meaning.
Of i I hear a word I'm not quite familiar with I look it up to better understand the intention. Maybe I've heard the word before but I'm just not solid on how it was intended so looking it up gives me better understanding moving forward in general.
Bad, horrible, atrocious, deplorable, deranged, terrible..... the list goes on. Each word has a nuance.

I am simple and my vocabulary is not that great so I think in general, I prefer many simple words that provide clarity over large, grandiose words I may not understand.
However, sometimes, a word comes up that makes me think one word is just beautiful because it is perfect in its clarity. Like the time I heard the word milquetoast.
I had to look it up (lol!) but it is a beautiful, perfect word and I will not forget it.
Wow I adore your post because that's the point exactly.
I hate people that speak in unreachable words on the norm because they do it on purpose and that's not cool. I understand them but I don't like them and it isn't fair to the population in general.
But if you need to use a descriptive word once or almost twice there's notj No wrong with that.
You aren't trying to leave people out of the convo. It just is what it is and you are entitled to use the word that best describes the feeling of situation. Others can look it up and go, oh wow. I learned I knew word today and now I know how she felt.
Thanks for the response.
You are welcome. :)
Good one...
