A Favorite WFB story...   

...is about the waiter who complained to him about using big words in National Review. He saw the waiter again about a year later, who asked "How come you stopped using all the big words?" Of course, WFB explained, no such thing had occurred — it was simply that the waiter's vocabulary had vastly expanded from the year's reading.
