One of the really bad things you can do to your writing is to dress up the vocabulary, looking for long words because you're maybe a little bit ashamed of your short ones.

I really fancy this commendation. I surmise that I am now more ingenious than I was just a diminutive moment ago
Hahahaha!! ^
Well, I just have to find irony in this post...My news editor just told me I am SUPPOSED to write to a 6th/7th grade education (our readers), instead of readers who can understand complex paragraphs. Sentences need to be 6/7 words long, too. This is frustrating since I certainly don't talk like I have only a 6th/7th grade education, myself. Pray for me in this challenge...Lord knows I can use all His help in achieving whatever my editor is requesting of me.
