These parts of speech, however, are commonplace in spoken English and we shouldn't forget this and dispense with them.
That's what works for the Greek language too, Rac. Greek has two times as many words as English has, four if you count the different forms verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives and articles can take depending on gender, case, mood and so on. But in spoken language less than the half of all these words are in use. If someone heard two teens talk about an everyday topic, they'd think 'oh, what a poor vcabulary they have!'.
And, being the one that pointed out the problem the non-native speakers have, seeing a fic written with all sort of literature words you can find makes me have mixed feelings: admiration for the writer, jealousy because I could never write like this, and annoyance because I have to check the dictionary every once in a while. (Gladly, I never needed to stop reading a fic because the language was so difficult for me.)
