How impressed are you by someones vocabulary, if someone was to make exactly the same point yet in a more 'artful' way would it impress you more, or can you see through the 'big words'?

Using big words is ok in education or in a work environment, where necessary .. used right they can convince people you have a good knowledge of the subject matter. But in every day conversation with friends etc, there's no use talking like shakespeare if people can't understand a bloody word.
It's more about how you express yourself I think ... you can be a great communicator without over-doing things.
I do have to say I love the english language though.

I see through it - but sometimes it overwhelms me. Especially when on school trips and other school pupils come and talk to you using words you've never heard of. I just use made up words back, they look impressed and then walk off...
Just standing my ground!

Doesn't impress me at all I like people to have a good basic vocabulary but those who learn long complicated words and try and use them at every opportunity are just trying to make you feel inferior to them.
Oh I know those types, when they try and show off even the way they speak. Most of the time you can't understand what they're saying, that's hardly impressive if what you're saying can't be understood.
