I couldn't disagree more with this piece, especially the idea of a "draft #4" where you go through what you've written and replace all "pedestrian" words with less common ones from the dictionary. I know these writers, and how they "write" - it's painful to read and oozes pretentiousness. You can always tell when someone tries to fake having a wider vocabulary.

Go read any book by John McPhee (the writer in question) and if you are not delighted I will donate $20 to the charity of your choice.

I recommend Oranges but they're all quite good.
