Read at a high level, write a low level.
Every college professor knows the most common problem in term papers is students trying to write in a complex style with big words that they think makes them sound smart. It doesn't. We're impressed with good, well-researched, well-organized thoughts, not with pompous words.

There is a line where the addition of complex words moves from the distracting to the useful. Many more complex words convey multiple aspects of a meaning where a more basic word doesn't. The goal should always be the maximise meaning and coherence.
