simple journalism .. short, concise, to the point, and communicated with brevity .. you don't write a sports column like you are writing a term paper to impress the old professor on The Paper Chase .. it is a question of style, not scholarship .. now, don't hurt yourself climbing off of that horse ..

Dude.
Any basic composition teacher will tell you that if you can convey your message in fewer words, then so much the better. Spouting off ten dollar words might sound impressive to some people, but when you can get your point across in a simpler manner and don't, it comes across as bloviating. Brevity is the soul of wit.
