Diction

 Latinate vs. Anglo saxon

The humble man came to the trashcan: he bent over and puked up the mix of chocolates stolen from the neighborhood duck. After the unwelcomed scene, the man was tired.

The unconceited man approached the trashan: he leaned over and regurgitated the assortment of chocolates stolen from the neighborhood flat-billed waterfowl. After the unwelcomed scene, the man was wearisome.

Explanation

The first sentence could be found in any elementary level text because it uses simple anglo saxon diction: puke, mix, and tired. Yet the second one takes a larger lexion or memory bank to understand. The occasion, audience, and purpose would determine which type of diction to use.
