Why do the newspapers use difficult vocabulary and structure?
Almost all the English newspapers I have read, or saying it more correctly tried to read, use very difficult vocabulary and structure. I know a newspaper has to be formal. But it can be formal without using any difficult vocabulary and structure. It is addressed to the general public, not to some linguists. I believe even some English natives also have to use a dictionary while reading a newspaper. This problem seems to exist with all the newspapers not specifically with English ones. Whenever I came across with any local newspaper, it was full of weird words which I had never encountered before. Perhaps, those authors try to boast of their knowledge by using hideous vocabulary and kinky writing style.
