Expialidocius supercalifragilistico from the movie Mary Poppins means simply wonderful from the Oxford dictionary. The use of words like this is a good example of the misleading approach of novice writers when creating a literary piece. Many novice writers have the misconception that using fancy words makes them seem smart and even if they don't know much about the topic they are writing about, they try to bluff the reader by using fancy words. In an attempt to sound impressive, novice writers use high-sounding words because they believe readers would find their command of the English language impressive and think their writing is a literary masterpiece. However, readers notice when novice writers use high-sounding words when simple words would do and it doesn't make them think highly of the writer. In contrast, the novice writer's attempt to sound impressive makes the reader think he is trying too hard. The use of high-sounding words simply confuses the reader instead of intensifying their reading experience. Using fancy words when simple words will suffice is an example of vague writing. Vague writing occurs in the following ways: when the writer doesn't really know what he or she is talking about, when he or she imitates the style of other writers just because they are popular, and when he or she hides his or her true opinion from the reader. Novice writers use vague writing to make what they say seem like a masterpiece. Intending to sound impressive, novice writers use pretentious language because they believe it makes them seem knowledgeable about the topic they're writing about.

A good writer can convey his thoughts using simple words. He avoids using pretentious language but manages to make the reader feel what he feels and can ignite his imagination. However, this is rarely the case for novice writers. In an attempt to make their writing seem like a work of art, some novice writers fall into the trap of vague writing because they hide their true opinion on the topic from readers or simply know nothing about it. You can remedy this by doing more research on the topic and clearly stating what your true opinion on the topic is. As a result, readers would be able to understand where the novice writer got his opinions from and then make their own judgments whether they agree or disagree with his feelings..
