Hi, Ed, I’m replying to the letter decrying the use of big words in your editorials. I, for one, as an avid reader, appreciate seeing big words as it gives me an opportunity to learn and to see in which context they are used and their definitions. Please don’t dummy-down your editorials. Some people do like to learn.

Totally. There’s this great thing called a dictionary. Everyone should get one.—Ed. Note
