The fewer syllables you can use to clearly make your point, the better. That’s because:
Syllables are like calories – they’re vital,
but having too many just adds bloat!
It’s especially worth avoiding words of 4 or more syllables in your talk, where you can. So, rather than saying “alternatives” you could say “options” – provided the sentence would still sound OK, and mean the same thing (to your audience, not necessarily to you).
