Hemingway and Simple Writing

As a scientist the need for long and complex words is clear to this author. When one botanist is attempting to communicate what they are seeing under the microscope to another the best way is often a sentence such as:
"No, it appears that the ovary is inferior and the involucre is petaloid."
Now to a botanist that is one of the simplest sentences you can expect to use in a day's work. the time you are saying:
"The four pointy thing is white and it's supposed to be green!"
it is usually time to pack it in and call it a day. But for the rest of life, and especially writing, you want to keep it simple. Like Hemingway short sentences and short words are key.
