Why walk when you can jaunt, why wander when you can meander, why run when you can dash, why jump when you can launch yourself, why smile when you can beam, why cry when you can weep, why regret when you can lament, why laugh when you can chuckle, why stare when you can leer, why say "leave me alone" when you can say "*******," why say "you're kidding me" when you can say "no ****," why say "rude" when you can say "*******," why leave out Oxford commas when you can just as easily not, why abbreviate Latin when it's such a beautiful language, et cetera.

So many different things to consider for a writer.

So no, mom, maybe you should watch your language.
