Your vocabulary, the words that you choose to use can affect the impact you have on other people. And for maximum gravitas, you direct in what you're saying, say what you mean. And mean what you say. Don't use euphemisms that dance around the topic. But neither missed up course coarseness of any sort. rudeness, discourtesy.

And course slang words will of course, undermine your gravitas. Another thing that people do to undermine their gravitas is to introduce what they're about to say, is something that discount its value straightaway. This may be nonsense, but let me suggest it I don't know if you're going to agree with this. But his idea what those are saying is, I don't think this is a good idea. But I can't get it out of my head. If you're a person, gravitas, you don't speak about things, which you have no knowledge.

You don't raise ideas and he thought through. When you speak, you speak with confidence and certainty. And people with gravitas tend to use natural formal language. By that I mean they avoid contractions like, Don't, isn't, and particularly words like eight or in it. They use the language in its modern form, usage. Clearly, if you hark back to old usages that are no longer current Then you open yourself up to either misunderstandings, or indeed ridicule for taking yourself too seriously.

So choose the correct level of formality of language. Choose the words you use to make your language easier to understand. Smaller words are better than big words. big words convey a huge amount of learning, but can also convey that you're covering up a lack of understanding. Just as small movements convey economy. choices, small simple words convey precision of thought.

Small words tell people you have understanding. Short speeches demonstrate deep insight. wise people do and say little What they do, what they say? convey much ultimately fewer words say more
