Big Words!!!!

Upon request of my co-worker here at Club Q, DJ Whitey, I would like to address the people who use big words. Have you ever known someone or talked with someone who uses words that you don't hear that much or you've never heard at all? Like the word "due-diligence". No one uses that word in everyday speech...noone that is who has any common sense. Which of the following sentences is easier to understand?:
1. Just do your best big guy.
2. Sir, complete the task with due-diligence.

Obviously the first sentence is short and sweet and to the point. A crack head would know what you mean. Sentence 2 on the other hand makes you sound like a dork. Not many people would understand what you mean. Or using the word "per" instead of the words "for, of, etc.". Like our former manager here at the Q. A typical sentence from him about his weekend might sound like this: This weekend we played catch per the football per about an hour. Sounds ridiculously moronic, huh? I believe that is why there are so many screw-ups in the legal system and other trades. We word stuff so dang hard to understand that people constantly screw it up. For instance take this sentence which I took out of one my Harvard law texts: "Upon retrieval stated therein, hence forth, of perpetual allocated doctrines, the later shall atest to pertain." Don't nobody know what that means. And what sucks even worse is when these "big word" users use a big word, they don't even use in the right way. So if any of you reading this use big words, just stop, cause you ain't impressing nobody. The guys I like to do business with and constantly give jobs to, talk on my level and not down to me. They use words like ain't, yon't to, gah-lee, well I be dern, didja, fixin to, and wallago. These people get it done. Just look at who the big word users are...politicians and look at the mess they have us in. If Jimmy Wayne and Rusty were in charge, everybody would know what was going on.
