Just use whatever words you feel like. Unless you're trying to use the most complex words possible at all times, no one really cares. At best people will think you're eloquent. At worst, snobbish. But if they think that, then fuck em, who cares. Don't get hung up on the way you sound. That'll just breed insecurities

    Unrelated, but how do I force new lines on my comments?

    I really wish I had recorded a giant argument I once had with a friend with a journalism degree where we go into a shouting match about the precision of words vs the need to inform and how certain words might be better for informing at scale, but still tend to give a worse "understanding" the actual message and where the ethical line there lies etc. etc.
