Actually, it's good to be flexible about these things. There are times 
when obfuscation is called for, and then the more words, with the more 
syllables, the better. At other times, falsehood is best served by 
simple, direct, declarative statements repeated over and over. It's 
always good to check whether one's target audience is more likely to 
watch PBS or FOX. Either way you are half-way there already.
