Not that I understood every word, but in the longer version, he noted the why using unnecessarily long words was prohibitive of clear communication, and gave several reasons to use simpler words.
This should be played to all the pompous scholarly pretentious pricks who believe they sound smarter, just because they favor longer Greek and Latin words over simple English language. I think Greek and Latin are fine, but let the dead Romans and the Greeks deal with those. Resorting to foreign (especially dead) languages to raise your register only highlights your inaptitude and ineptitude in using your own damned language. English is full of latinisms as it is.
