Why do folks use big words to say or write a thought when they can use short words for the same thing? A short word has one sound, one beat; a big word has more than one sound, more than one beat. What a waste! They think that they are smart to do that, but prove that they have no brains at all.

One can still say all of the main needs of life:

breath
eat
drink
sex
beer
shot
boobs

All we need are short words, counts such as 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, and ranks such as 27th (a bad rank to be for some things) and 43rd (the rank of George Bush).

I could write a whole book with the use of short words. I could call it The Old Man and the Sea if that name were not yet in use.

Some good books: Oil, War and Peace, Green Eggs and Ham

Some good films: There Will Be Blood, Catch 22, Catch Me If You Can

Some good shows: The Wire, Lost, 24, South Park

Can you find a thought that can not be said with short words? I dare you! I dare you twice! Come on punk, make my day.

I don’t care if people use big words because I usually just skip right over the ones I don’t know. It actually saves me a ton of time reading.
