Question: In 10 words or less can you simplify this?

In promulgating your esoteric cogitation or articulating your superficial sentimentalities, and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency, and a concatenated consistency. Eschew obfuscation and all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descanting and unpremeditated expatiation have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy, and vain vapid verbosity.

p.s. good luck and have fun

Once again, the lazy human mind so many have fails to realize that not ALL people on Welfare and Social Security are lazy. Yes, there are very many people out there who just live off the system, I personally know some and am disqusted by them. However, remember that there ARE those who legitimately need help, who worked very hard prior to their misfortune that led them to having to have government aid. But need I remind you that Capitalism has a major part that virtually everyone misses? The goal is not to make money so you can live in a fancy house and have six cars-but to live prosperously and give back to the community to help others who have not been as fortunate so they can have enough to stand back up on their feet. Will you discard all government aid and leave the honest in the streets with the dishonest? That would be cold. Do you not give to charity? Or do you never do so because of the chance that that money will be misused? Possibility 1- You pay extra to help with government aid. The just and the unjust both benefit from this. Possibility 2- You pay less to help with government aid. Both the just and unjust suffer as a result. Is it worse to risk giving something to someone undeserving? Or to cut off giving someone something who deserves it? When you look at it in that light, you see that you should be obligated to help, even if there is a possibility that that help will be misused. It's called having humanity-you should try it sometime. And besides, how many of you make $250K+ a year anyway? That's what I thought.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is required here. Talk proper!

Just finished looking up some of these words and I'm impressed. It makes perfect grammatical sense and I think I'll quote you if I may. Well done! Best question I've seen to date.

Having profusely cogitated this arguably perplexing question, I have concluded that deciphering its meaning may require knowledge of the English language far superior to that possessed by a mere mortal like myself!

Well whoever wrote it spent most of their time buried within the pages of a dictionary, trying to contradict what they were trying to write down. It means, speak clearly, stick to the point and don't attempt to embellish what you're trying to say.

When talking watch out for big words. Be precise. Stop clouding things with big words and be to the point without them......I think.

Babblement indeed! I haven't a clue. Surely noone speaks like that in real life!!

When explaining yourself, speak in plain English, avoiding unnecessary wordage.
