I don't use big words usually. Dan's vocabulary is way better than mine and I have to ask him what stuff means often. I just can't be bothered with big words. The ones I'm using now seem to work fine. Talking to Polo is difficult, but that's more because I don't know the slang he uses. I rarely look things up, I just ask for people to explain words I don't know.
