Thank you for reminding me what Medium can be. Being an unabashed sesquipedalian, this article resonated with me. I have a saying (attributed to yours truly): "I learnt all the big words to learn not to use them."

Shoehorning in one lyrical titbit it an otherwise prosaic sentence can be effective. But, perhaps even that sentence was too wordy. What is too wordy? Only reading and writing constantly will reveal the sweetspot, but even that ostensible Goldilocks style wil change.
