I tend to use the shortest words possible, but if I'm writing for something (academic, whitepaper, article, etc) I will use all forms of a saying to avoid sounding repetative.
One of my biggest pet peeve is using complex words in everyday conversation. It just bugs the hell out of me because I do feel people do it to show off.

Why the hell can't you just say "Not me. My kids are millenials and I love em".
This isnt a novel so why be so formal about it?
