Stephen King is trying to sell millions of books to many people so I understand why he would say this and mean it. But I don’t think it applies everywhere, or even where I operate. I want to communicate clearly. So using a precise word is valuable. I, and many people I interact with, actually like looking up words and learning things. So it’s a feature not a bug to learn a new word when reading someone’s message. Of course not everyone is the same, so it boils down to “know your audience.”
