This study goes backs up the office terminology post here Verbiage Methodology.
I’ve long hated it when people use overly complex words when it’s clear they are doing it just to sound smarter. If you’re doing something to try and appear smarter than you are, you’ve already shown yourself to not be so smart.
File that under a veritable cornucopia of microcosms and eccentricities.
