* Christopher Paolini apparently feels the need to use a thesaurus at all times with the ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'', sparking copious mixed opinions from readers. Some find his writing captivating and interesting, while others basically write it off as a load of crap. Either way, you can't argue that he follows this trope to the letter, and younger readers may want to keep a dictionary open while traversing his prose.



* Creator/MarkTwain accused Germans (at least, German writers) to always choose the longest word possible, and cites words like "Freundschaftsbezeigungen" and a sentence with over seventy words as proof. The sentence was taken from a SillyLoveNovel. Now wonder how much more complicated philosophical and scientific works from the 19th century must be.
* Both Creator/StephenieMeyer and her characters in ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' love this trope. The books are filled to the brim with overly-complicated words when simpler words would work better, and she even uses some words wrongly.
