Voice
It is important for your essay to sound like you. Many people try to use big words to make themselves sound more intelligent. Sometimes using a thesaurus is helpful, but most of the time it does not turn out well. Some people will use the word even when they do not know how to use it. A big "intelligent" word when used out of context can ruin a perfectly good sentence. Even some authors keep sentences simple.

I agree with you, completely. When you see a word that is used in the wrong context, it can question the legitimacy of what you're reading. Plus, sometimes voice isn't accurately expressed just because it uses big words. I also think that sometimes keeping it simple is better.
