They CAN be done well (like in Twelfth Night!) but generally they detract from the characters and plot, as far as I'm concerned. <br /><br />I’m a new follower by GFC.

I kind of appreciate them, as long as it feels natural. It helps me strengthen my vocabulary.

Normally it's just minor errors that has me wishing I could've been the proofreader!<br /><br />Unnecessary big words? I see it sometimes, but not a whole lot. I occasionally like having to look up a word to add to my own knowledge!<br /><br /><a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.com/2012/11/follow-friday.html" rel="nofollow">Here's my Follow Friday</a><br /><br />Have a <a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">GREAT</a> weekend!<br /><br />Old Follower :)Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.com
