Using long words

I am new to blogging. I have read many other people's blogs. Some have entertained, some have made me laugh, some have even made me cry (that will be my daughter).
But it is wonderful to see into the minds of other people, and they are so full of surprises, that have sometimes altered my opinions.

I have been wary of blogging because I do not know lots of long words. I do not want people to think I am unintelligent. I have dyslexia which, while being a pain in the arse, does not make me have a lower intelligence.
But why should I worry about other people's opinions? I know my friends and family love me.

They often comment that for a clever person I can be extremely stupid, naive, surprisingly simple. This is not all they think of me. But they are right this is part of me as it is part of most people. So if people think I am stupid, why should I care? Their opinion isn't any more valid than my friends and family. But most importantly not more important than my own.
Therefore (a longish word), sometimes I will use long words and at others I won't. This is me and I think about faerie important stuff.
