I was advised to avoid (or minimize?) such words in my writing. So this advice left me wondering...
What is are the good reasons for using ostentatious words?
Should broad vocabulary be limited when in non-fiction writing?
I don't think I was trying to be showy. In early drafts, I may just use the word that comes to mind at the moment.
What experiences do other people have about use of these words?
