I agree with that.
Along with excessive wordiness (verbosity, if you must) of modern languages, especially English...
History of languages is the history of borrowings, and all, but I still can't wrap my head around longer, less graceful words displacing better ones. Mostly because they sound 'new' and 'hot'.
Polish language did have quite a lot of terms to say 'offended', 'bugged' and whatever, but now everyone uses 'bulwersować' which, is long, awkward, and of course mostly mean 'turn/roll the ball' in French. XD
