Five Dollar Words

“Don’t use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do.”

Mark Twain

This quote came to me while I was out for a walk this morning and listening to an audiobook. I wondered if I had shared it here before, and I hadn’t, so I am fixing that oversight now. It’s a piece of writing advice that gets stuck in my head as I work. Perhaps it’ll get stuck in yours as well.
