I know a kid that thinks "commodious" is hilarious.
It means spacious, but it sounds like it should mean toilet.
I agree with the couple of posts below me, though.
Actually, the point of a good paper is not to sound smart. The point is to be easy to read, gramatically correct, and make/defend/support your points.

Get yourself what's called a thesaurus-it's like a dictionary that list "big" words with similar words with the same meaning as simple words. Furthermore, go to book stores like Coles- they have little books that contain the current jargon and "big" terms for any particular trade that you may be writing about- like legal jargon, scientific jargon, and so on. Some advice- you do not always have to use big words to impress people- it's the way you express yourself and confidence in yourself when convincing people of what your are trying to rely to them that really drives your point of view home to them.

Put this in your paper. "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." "Support Free Hugs"
