Impossible. See works by the authors I mentioned. Being able to use
exactly the right word to express precisely the right meaning is the
beauty of a good vocabulary. Unfortunately, we tend to get tarred with
the same brush as is applied to those who specifically choose obscure
words to obfuscate their meaning.
Cheers,
