Using fancy words doesn’t make you a good writer.
You actively exclude people who want to read it, but most people don’t understand it.
A good writer knows how to describe stuff.
Easily. Understandable. Words.
But one DOES sound like a pretentious prick, that’s for sure!
Using fancy words doesn't make somebody a good writer. I didn't say that and I don't believe it.
But one definite barrier to good writing is not being able to keep track of your own thoughts and making claims that contradict an earlier part of your sentence. I find that a barrier to comprehension.
I've always found the Britishism of using 'one' instead of 'you' makes one sound like a pretentious prick, but I usually don't tell people off when they do it.
