Even though it is very different to see any with all these clarities in them… hope it is part in those line “No Body is Perfect”. Still its really something attractive when someone who possess talented speech with clarity and if the thought is too better the quality of that speech is much attractive. On the other the writing can be well written with many dictionary found rare words but beside we always have to have a dictionary to clarify those words. It seems simple words are more easily understood and writers thoughts are much clarified. The thoughts too are well projected in writings if well presented. Even though I rarely read books but I would like to read those books with simple language and small in size. Moreover it may depend how interesting it feels to the reader. But it seems hardly readers want to go thought dictionary every minute that affects the flow of reading. Any how these clarity is mostly needed to teachers, professors and other who impart their ideas to most needed to group or individual.
Apart I feel a person with good thoughts have good habits and is attracted by other even the speech and writing does not possess any clarity.

When English is just the country's second language , one would really need to study how they are spoken and written . I honesmy vocabulary by doing those word meanings of the Reader's Digest that my parents subscribed in my high school to college years .
And when i was working i also subscribed to it myself and still do their word meanings quiz . I am happy that it would result to at least one or two mistakes only out of 20 .

@SHAMRACK But when i resigned from work 1998 and became a housewife for 4 years , i wasn't able to buy a new one anymore . I suppose it's gone ?
What i have though is my collection for how many years i subscribed . I review the quizzes and i guess my old age has taken back some of my vocabulary .

Simple words are being used by writers nowadays. It seems it's better for the readers that way.

@SHAMRACK That's right. The more readers they can attract, the more money they can earn.

True, it is quite difficult to check the meaning of the words in between reading. WIthout knowing the word meaning we can't understand what we read. I prefer to read a book two times, first time I just don't bother the meaning of some words but I can understand what meant by the writer even though I don't understand the meaning of some words. On second reading I use a dictionary to find out the meaning of those hard words. How is it

One who is new to a language does need to remember to be humble---to quickly accept that other writers might not know they're new to the language and so not saying exactly what they mean.
It might be good for experienced writers to 'understand that the new writer might not mean exactly what they're writing,' but sometimes we need to be reminded to be patient with new writers.

I remember when I was learning Hebrew the correct way how they speak here and we had an easy reading Hebrew paper I had to look up lots of words in the Hebrew-English dictionary to tell me what they meant. It was very tiring. Now, if want to know what something means I go to the computer and type in Hebrew to English or English to Hebrew.

You are right. Our attention gets easily caught if the speaker enunciates his words well. We tend to linger and listen to what he has to say compared to a certain individual who does not have a very good speaking voice or intonation.
As for me, I also like authors or books that uses simple English. Not that I am discouraging writers to be superfluous with their words but reading a book is leisure for me so I do not want to always refer to the dictionary for me to understand what the author meant on her story but of course, there are also days when I accept the challenge and really look for the meaning in a dictionary.
