am i the only one here who uses big words to make myself sound more photosynthesis?

Humour aside, big words, used appropriately, save space and time by compacting what you are trying to say into fewer words. This is why research articles are so full of them, because the authors are trying to cram as much information as they can in the minimum number of pages.This can filter down into discussion boards like this one because quite a few here do, and handle, that kind of work.

 

The general idea in science, which necessitates big words, is to be as explanatory as possible but in as few words as possible i.e. be concise.

Improperly used big words can eschew obfuscation, which is a bad idea.
