Where did this phenomenon come from? To be a successful writer and for your work to be looked upon as significant, why do we now have to fill our writing with the longest vocabulary we can find?
I feel pressure upon myself to drop in a few of these words every time I produce a piece so I to can be looked upon as knowing what im on about. However I have not recently swallowed a dictionary and so I cant produce a blog that to me is completely incoherent ( doesn't really make sense) just to prove that I know the most amount of this complex vocabulary.
You may say it is due to my lack of knowledge or not enough reading when I was a child. But even if I knew these words I wouldn't be inclined to put one in every sentence to make a point. I like a more personal style. My sister commented that my work contained satire (so it was quite funny). Good, I'd prefer people to have a quick giggle at my writing then go away more confused then when they started, worrying that they should also know the longest word in the dictionary. And then they to can write for hours about the most boring of things but it looks amazing as every word is more then three syllables long!
And so I put to you a revolution in writing that I would invite everyone to join. Keep it short and simple. Go away from your work smiling and content not worrying that you spelt 'indubitably' or another equally long and unnecessarily chosen word incorrectly. I release you from this Prison of intense vocabulary that we have created for one another! Be short, be sweet, enjoy what you write!
