A large vocabulary is both a blessing and a curse.

Learning to navigate language like a boss is something to be proud of. It demonstrates your dedication to learning and your ability to retain knowledge. When conversing with a fellow intellectual, making use of this knowledge, even to the point of being verbose, is an easy way to impress.

It is also a quick way to waste time and confuse those around you.

Be concise and precise; it is universal, understood by every man, even those who do not have the time to study.
