So You've Got a Thesaurus

You say bifurcate, I say split.

You say multifarious, I say diverse.

You say superannuated, I say old.

When speaking or writing, if you really want people to hear what you are saying and understand the message you are trying to convey, think about the words you use.

If listeners or readers need to take time translating your words then your message might be lost. Unfortunately, you might also make the people listening or reading feel stupid or you might come across as arrogant. You might even lose respect and credibility because people might think you are using big words to hide your lack of knowledge.

So put the thesaurus away and elucidate your obfuscated intelligence.
