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,
