The ultimate guide on how to speak eloquently, including 200 well-spoken alternatives to common words and phrases.

If you've ever fumbled while trying to use a big word ('lofty word,' 'pretentious word') to impress a crowd, you know what it's like to ('know what it is to') be poorly spoken.

Barack Obama
T. S. Eliot
Edith Wharton
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Henry James
Barbara Kingsolver
