Love that In work we try to minimize the words as much as possible.

Key reasons come to mind:

1. global audience and people need to put it into translator.
2. some people we work with are dumb as doornails and ideas need to be simplified.
3. no one wants to read 5 paragraph for a simple we don’t know what color you wanted.
4. ain’t nobody got time for that.

Those extend the paper as long as possible skills are useless in the real-world.

Sometimes you have to use complicated terms because you’re dealing with complicated ideas…

Other times it’s clear that the authors are just trying to pad the length of a paper and sound more pompous.

In Brazil we call this “enchendo linguiça”, which literally translates to “filling sausage”.
