This is definitely a neat concept.
Some people have said they like the way I write. All I try to do here is articulate into words the conversation we would be having if we were in person. Having had a grammar teacher as a parent and being a sales guy by trade has developed certain skills when it comes to effectively communicating by text but I never really gave too much thought to it as anything but passably functional.
These days, in marketing, I try and not use plain words like 'great' or 'really' too much and I do find a vocabulary helps with that. The problem is that advertising and marketing is supposed to be aimed at a wider audience and using fancy words has the possibility of making someone feel stupid and tuning out. So, I have to keep the vocabulary at a lower common denominator while not sounding basic. A totally different skillset.
So, in person, you will probably get a mix of big boy words and profanity ;) Here, it is a constant battle between entertainingly flamboyant adjectives and conversational language that is accessible for the casual reader or even people who are not adept in english.
So, a greater vocabulary is a tool you use depending upon the job at hand but one everyone should have in their toolbox.
