That’s the ironic title of an academic paper published in 2005 by Carnegie Mellon psychologist David Oppenheimer that studied the effects of stuffy, reader-unfriendly language. It’s a question that has hounded us all: What are the consequences of erudite vernacular used irrespective of necessity? OK, not really.
