Choosing a word which exemplifies precisely what we need to communicate cuts through the debris and gets right to the point. Think of it as choosing the fastest route on MapQuest rather than taking the slower back roads. Yes, you get where you are going, but it takes longer and you may get lost. We tend to prefer the mile markers and exit numbers to the town and street names which need to be found.
