User blog comment:SoPretentious/Selected List of Overused Words/@comment-26554569-20150703061613

As much as I agree with the fact that stories should strive to have a wide vocabulary instead of using the first word that comes to mind, I believe that sometimes the use of words that are too elaborate can become jarring for the reader and take away from the immersion. Not to say readers are uneducated, but it is more pleasing to read a story with flow instead of scrolling through some overly complicated thesaurus.

That being said, I found this list helpful. Lord knows I did not know "Ogle" was a word.
