Eloquence is about using the right word, not the fanciest word
Eloquence is about using the right word, not the fanciest word, and people who are obviously trying to sound smart tend to fail at this because they forget that using jargon incorrectly doesn’t actually hide the fact that they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Trying to cover up not knowing your shit is really just intentionally alienating and intimidating anyone who has no idea what you’re talking about and throwing away any credibility you might have had in front of someone who does.
This is also why I hate résumés.
