This is amazing! I am an avid fan of simple words. I have friends who are in the Tower and insist that I should "stop dumbing [myself] down for my students." They think that if I do not challenge them with new, better vocabulary, they will never rise up and meet the rest of us. I can't though. Simple words have just as much impact and power, if not more, than less simple words. Besides, it is all about context right?
