Simply Stated
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms.” ~George Orwell

In the spirit of being more concise, please inspire me. Submit your most creative entry USING ONLY SINGLE SYLLABLE WORDS. Any topic, any format. Bonus cool points if you can cleverly state your case for polysyllable superiority while adhering to the rule! :)
Effectively Eschew Obfuscation
Please sit down, still your mind, and lend me an ear. I have a tale to tell you, and I know if you heed my words, they will do you a lot of good.
I may not know it all, but I know this much: there are folks who tell their tales with words that have lots of sounds, but if you work at your craft you will find that you can do it in words with but one sound bite. Don’t feel that you have to prove things to the rest of them.
There is no way to make you feel just how true my words are, but I trust you will do the right thing… plus, you will sound smart, too.
I know you can do it, so tell me your thoughts and share your dreams, your way. Just give it a try, and you may be shocked at how good you are.
You too can do this.
