This is something that has been on my mind for a while. Bigger words that mean the same exact thing as it's smaller word. I know some of you are a little confused by what i am trying to say, so let me break it down a little further.
Example: The word Ajar means Open. Why not just say open. Its same amount of letters and syllables.
You say thats not good enough here is another one.
Example: Apathetic it simply means lazy. Why not say lazy?
I wonder if people think just because they use a bigger term they'll sound smarter. Not to me. To me you'll just sound annoying. Wisdom in my eyes isn't based on big your vocabulary is, or how quick you can do math problems for that matter. That really is just book smarts but, what about life smart. Others call it street smarts or common sense but, thing with common sense is what may be common to you may not be common to someone else.
