You didn’t do anything wrong. My point is that it is a common error of young intelligent people to write or speak in “hi falutin” language rather than in simple, concise form.
To quote The Elements of Style: “Avoid the elaborate, the pretentious, the coy, and the cute. Do not be tempted by the twenty-dollar word when there is a ten-center handy, ready, and able.”
