altiloquent/planiloquent
altiloquent (al-TIL-oh-kwent) - adj., speaking in a high-flown, often turgid manner.
planiloquent (pla-NIL-oh-kwent) - adj., speaking in a plain manner.
Two members of the -loquent series about styles of speech. All of them have Latin roots, for these two, meaning "high" "speaking" and "plain" "speaking".
