I was that precocious child who used words like 'voracious' when I was 13 too. However, I'm discovering that not everyone talks like that. One of the things that I always struggled with when I first started writing was believable dialog. I'd have characters use too many of these words when they talked to each other.

One of the characters that I'm writing now is like the character you describe; he has a completely different inner monologue than his normal speaking voice. He's a sociopath, and he's trying to deceive everyone around him.
