How do I stop ChatGPT from using fancy words?
You will learn to ask for no jargon or big words.
Big, fancy words can make easy ideas feel scary. You can ask ChatGPT to drop them.
Tell it to avoid jargon. Jargon means special words only experts use. Ask for everyday words instead.
The answer will feel friendlier right away. Clear beats clever every time.
Try this
- Type your question to ChatGPT.
- Add that you want no jargon.
- Ask it to use everyday words.
- Read the simpler answer.
- Remind it again if a big word slips in.
A message you can copy
Please answer [your question]. Avoid jargon and fancy words. Talk to me like a friend would.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.

You are not behind. The words were just dressed up too much.
