In conversation or knowledgeable explanation... do you prefer to explain things in simple words or eloquent words?

Simple words!

Eloquent words!

780/800 on my SAT Verbal, I’m a wordsmith😎 (Don’t ask my math score…but let’s just say I went to UMass, not Harvard🤣) But I’m also one of those stream-of-consciousness lunatics, lmao. So I don’t think it always comes out the way I want. And anyone who’s seen me on here knows I’m usually not brief, holy shit. If you think it’s tough reading it, imagine typing it all😂 I can go on tangents and trail off…. its a wild ride.

On several occasions I remember telling people some long story, taking the long way, all kinds of side streets, finally wrapping up after like 8 minutes, not 30 seconds…and they’d be like “dude…you totally lost me like five times, and at a few points I had no idea what the fuck you were talking about…. but now that you told me the ending, it ALL makes total sense, and that is a fucking HILARIOUS story.”😂

But yeah, I think I have a very good vocabulary, and I kind of just organically use it, plus if I’m typing, I stay conscious of how I’m writing, in terms of not using the same word or phrasing over and over, etc.

If I'm speaking out loud, I’m probably more likely to speak simply, but if I get going on a topic, I can start going with the tweed-jacket-with-suede-elbow-patches stuff.

But I always sound dumb, no matter what😞 I always like to use this guy as an example of how I talk, lmao…

Not everything can be explained with simplistic communication , sometimes to explain something it has to be in more detail , simple words are for the inarticulate.

[Nikki1989]

I value clarity and effective communication, but it depends on who I am talking to.

The downside of using simple words is that people sometimes don’t understand the weight of the topic

[Flower7]

Simple so people can understand what I’m saying.

[virtualwasp]

depends on the audience
