In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications demonstrate a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensibleness, no coalescent conglomerations of precious garrulity, jejune bafflement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous verbal evaporations and expatriations have lucidity, intelligibility and veracious vivacity without radomontade or Thespian bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous propensity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, obnoxious jocosity and pestiferous profanity, observable or apparent.
In other words, say what you mean and DON'T USE BIG WORDS!
Hang on. I am not the genius who made that up. That was advice by Dr Johnson immortalized to me by my Grandpa. As a kid, I memorized it to impress my friends. Now using it to impress my readers.
Hope you are suitably impressed :P
But seriously, brevity is the soul of clarity and one needs to speak to express and not to impress and not say ten words when you can do with one. Whats more? For greater spiritual communion with one’s higher self, it is recommended by experts that one goes on a verbal diet to practice mounam once in a while.
I am on verbal diet. So not been writing for a while. Shall write original stuff if and when I find my higher self. Finding..finding..finding….
