VOCABULARY
#9
My vocabulary is probably a bit below average, to be honest. But it doesn't really matter that much as long as people understand what you're trying to say.

I have never even heard of most of the words in C2 and C3, let alone know what they mean, so it doesn't matter if you know them and how to use them in a sentence, it will mean nothing to me.

So I don't really see the need for a huge vocabulary. Those advanced words can probably be replaced using a few simpler words, and that's really all you need to communicate well with most people.
Until the average person has those words in their vocabulary, they will remain mostly useless. Frown

Also, here's a funny video on people who deliberately use big words to try and sound smart:
