Personally, I feel that there is no need to shun longer words altogether (except in business communications). If a sentence contains only short words, it may become monotonous. The use of middle and slightly longer words adds some lyrical cradle-swinging like beauty to sentences and make them more readable. In a business communication, time is crucial and business persons do not have time to read tongue-twisters. In literature, politics, science articles, I feel we can be less restrictive.
