I am a little bit shocked that American chooses sophisticated over simple. I tend to see this as an example of low IQ trying to cover itself by using smart phrases and words (not in your case, but if I saw you first time I would).
After all America was built by entrepreneurs, simple guys that used simple words to explain their great vision, not detracted by sophistication. Those are the same people who use "bearish" and "bullish" terms instead of "declining market" or "booming market" (even in science books!). They use butterfly as name for option strategy simply because the drawing look that way! And I always had a lot of fun watching our PhDs translating their terms in Latvian and coming out with something awfully sophisticated for "butterfly", because "butterfly is not academic"
I admired Americans for that and had one positive stereotype on you, but now I see Americans have lost their simplicity and energy and try to hide under the same mask as rest of the world - smart, empty, multi-meaning words.
Sorry for that, you just happened to see a part of my perpetual war against sophistication
