I assume that by "big words" you mean words that you, Robert Rogers, are
unfamiliar with, and by "simply and directly" you mean in a way that does not
present you, Robert Rogers, with anything requiring thought or the use of 
a dictionary?  Well, let me counter-challenge you: take a dictionary and look 
up the words you happen not to know.  Perhaps if you did this more often, 
you wouldn't have any problem with the sentence above, which, in fact, is 
quite simple and direct.  Is there any reason why you should be looked upon
as some kind of a standard for how people should express themselves?
