Floccinaucinihilipilification ... Vocal

Today's word is "floccinaucinihilipilification" ... flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-KEY-shuh n ... rare. the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language). (Dictionary.com)

Vocal
Language can be a strange thing,
Even when it's yours,
But if you speak correctly,
It may open doors.

And yet, on the other hand,
If you use big words,
Like floccinaucinihilipilification,
You might not be heard.

So speak your feelings simply,
Knowing, when you do,
Everyone will understand,
And think the best of you.
