I would be very interested to see some one of you (or all) blog about how people complicate English. How and when will a writer use thesaurus. You can try asking one of your friends to write a quick article for you with a thesaurus given to her :-) . You can then watch her use the thesaurus to write his extra polished paragraph. This would throw a flash light towards the problem. A thorough understanding how people complicate English would enable you with the ideas to reverse that process.
I am reminded of how people thought of building an flying vehicle by understanding the aerodynamics of a dragon fly.
Quoting from wikipedia:
"Insects are the only group of invertebrates known to have evolved flight. Insects possess some remarkable flight characteristics and abilities, still far superior to attempts by humans to replicate their capabilities. Even our understanding of the aerodynamics of flexible, flapping wings and how insects fly is imperfect. "
So, you may want to take a look at how people take a flight in English writing (or should I say take the reader for a ride with their extra-complicated vocabulary usage).
Would love to hear your thoughts on this. You can blog with the following points in mind:
1) How do people complicate the language.
2) How can you experiment on this using some human subjects.
Get your gears on for some field work folks!!!! :-))
