Diction is, in layman's terms, the way words are spoken. Clear, correct speech is "better diction".
Speech that has clear, precise endings to words.
Diction is often made more indistinct by the mispronunciation
of simple words. e.g.: Many people pronounce the word "ask"
as "arks". Such mistakes as these also impede diction.
A DICTIONary will give you the exact meaning. This is an "off the cuff" explanation.

Diction is used everyday. Diction is just basically word choice.

Diction is the way people deliver words. It involves sound, pronunciation, inflection and cadence. It also involves the actual choice of words. Hard to give an example, unless you can give us your framework of reference.
