Experiment Who is smarter? Guy on the left with IELTS 4.0 or guy on the right with IELTS 9.0? Linguistcels, GTFIH!

The video is set to frame the guy on the right as smarter for knowing more specific terms for the word ''road''.

But I will make the argument that the guy on the left is actually smarter. The whole point of language is to transmit a message. The guy on the left is able to express the idea of road in a simple manner that is understood by all. The guy on the right creates a lot of needless confusion with his fancy words

Mostly unnecessary words

I agree with alley and tunnel but the rest are extremely unnecessary lol. I'd hate to have the guy on the right as a driving instructor

Depends on context, if you're in a vehicle receiving directions, simply "left here" or "right here" would suffice. If I knew a lot of descriptive words without a practical context to use them, what point would they have. That being said, I think the 9ers descriptors are better in the context of ordering units in battle. War is always a necessary context, and I'd rather a commander / unit leader who told me to move to the 'specific landmark' than road, because it could be a matter of life or death. In which case I'd only find fault with 'cul de sac' for being more syllables than a simpler synonym like 'court.'
