Big Words

Just a comment for last Semester's 407/607 class... a number of people mentioned in their 'sermon reflections' that they avoided certain words (or sometimes included them) on the basis of what the congregation would comprehend. That's not the issue. The issue is to select words that sound normal in day to day speech. Unless we're jerks, we don't usually deploy our most erudite vocabulary in daily social intercourse.
