“ One of the really bad things you can do to your writing is to dress up the vocabulary, looking for long words because you’re maybe a little bit ashamed of your short ones. This is like dressing up a household pet in evening clothes. ”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (2000). copy citation
