Eschewing a sesquipedalian style is desideratum for good communication. |

4. Undertaking your proposal into consideration |
|
While your "modest proposal" would seem to be indicative of a perhaps-practical practice, past observances of said behavior in the Democratic Underground environs seem to indicate that such requests may fall upon deaf ears, and thus your suggestion may prove to only have interfered with the subsequent supposedly smoother flow of conversation, information, knowledge, and intelligence.

7. I believe your missive-cum-credo should read: |
|
"Eschewing a sesquipedalian belletristic is desideratum for optimal communication."
Conversely, a heuristic algorithm for Basic English and similar reduced-vocabulary rhetorical sets does enhance the validity of one's professional communications reputation, and additionally, eliminates the "COIK Problem."
