RE: Friday Fun: What Pet Peeve makes you puke?

[Stuart Burnfield <slb -at- westnet -dot- com -dot- au>]

When people pass up a simple word to use a longer form of the word that 
means something different. For example, saying 'simplistic' instead of 
'simple' in a sentence such as:

"The applicant must have the ability to explain concepts in a simplistic 
way."

I guess this sort of thing is meant to sound clever but it just sounds 
pompous and ridiculous.
