Hello,

I was absent for 16 days because I was occupied with my exams, and now I am come back with a new question that I do really appreciate anyone who answers me.

When someone writes any kind of article, what do you generally take into consideration: the context, the size or both of them??

What about the style: Does the use of complex words make you attracted by this article or you do prefer a simple coherent one??

The most important single consideration is the intended audience: who are you writing for? That will lead you to many conclusions about other matters.

"Does the use of complex words make you attracted by this article or you do prefer a simple coherent one?"

Simple is always best.

If there is a real need for a complex word, use it, but where there is a simple one, I would choose that first. Putting lots of difficult words into a text can come across as pseudo-intellectual, creating more confusion than clarity.
