Similarly, if you write an article just don’t pour the vocabulary use it sparingly and wherever needed. Moreover, you might seem to be intelligent and smart but there are big chances of losing the reader.

The best tactic for this makes your colleagues or friends read it if they understood it’s well and good but if they don’t replace that word or sentence with an easy one. Use metaphors and play with it all around your article. On the whole, hook your readers with properly used cliffhangers.
