The idea that everyone’s vocabulary is different really resonated with me. Whether it’s another writer, another person, or even someone you disagree with, realizing that words aren’t always common ground is another reason to use the clearest terms possible.

And Caitlin, no one is this world can be lionized, can they? I’m glad you added in that bit of balance. Fortunately (in my eyes, at least), I’ve gotten better at allowing people to be human, taking the good and rejecting what I don’t agree with.

Choosing the right words to say is important. Not adding drama and making communication simple and easy-to-understand is also key!

Nice quote… but it’s coming from the same guy who, when a woman told him that he was drunk, said “you’re ugly and I’ll be sober in the morning”.

Human emotion and thought is so beautiful and complex… vocabulary is simply trying to convey how we feel through words. It makes me think of waking up from a dream that rattled your sole to the core, trying to explain it to someone, and having it come out boring, stupid, funny, or not how you intended. It can be tough to master!

Having a good vocabulary helps express what you are feeling and who you are. Use only the words that are necessary to describe something though. Clutter in words is just as bad as in your closet

Great small post, Sara!
