Something along these lines (only shorter perhaps)?

There may be a tradeoff between the brevity of prose vs the simplicity
of words.  Some audiences are already familiar with concept-rich
words, others less so.
I feel spike's notion is to use much of the common words from those
available at the "story" level, while ten-hundred words assumes a very
reduced vocabulary.
