“When promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities amicable, philosophical, or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosities.  Let your extemporaneous verbal evaporations and expatiations demonstrate lucidity and intelligibility without rodomontade or thespian bombast.  Sedulously eschew all and sundry polysyllabic profundity, verbosity and vapidity.  Abhor all double entendre, obnoxious jocosity, and pestiferous profanity observable or apparent. 





In other words, state precisely that which you wish to say without the use of excessively large words"

NOTE:  A quotation from some unknown person.

Would it also be expedient to abstain from the practice of perambulating  around the poles of veracity by means of terminological inexactitude?

My family used to own a nanny goat.

She could make a noise part way between a sneeze and a humphhh

I wish I could reproduce it for both of the above pieces of persipacity.
