I see that some answers say "verbose." That's using too many words (chatterbox or like Charles Dickens, who was paid by the word). I think the word you are looking for is "sesquipedantilist," which means someone who uses large or long words when a shorter one will do. It comes from making fun of the word sesquicentennial, when 150th anniversary will do fine.
