"Try not to be too flamboyant, ostentatious or overelaborate." I teach English to non-native speakers and that is really good advice. Some of my learners do great writing but spoil it by over complicating not just the vocabulary but punctuation too. I see lots of over use of commas, semi-colons, and speech marks which makes good text hard to read. Simple is definitely best if you don't have the benefit of a proofreader nearby!
