What is up with all these big words?

People always tell me that I need to stop using big words. I don't do it to seem more intelligent than others, it's simply what I'm used to. I try to speak like a "normal" person, but for the most part I tend to use words most people can't comprehend.

No offense, but that's really hard for me to understand. I don't see how 13 people voted on the "no" option. Since we all learn small words at a younger age, I can't figure out how someone can accidentally use a big word. Can you give an example?

It's not that people "accidentally" use larger words. It's simply what they're used to, or what they were taught as children. I for one am an avid reader. But I don't read those fantasy novels like Twilight or the such. I tend to read books which have an expanded vocabulary. Also, ever since I was younger, I would always spend time with the older "nerds". I have been used to hearing people and speaking with people who use larger words, and I have also gotten used to reading them, so using them tends to become a habit.
