Tatoeba + Wiktionary

He was a very kind man, but his verbosity was exasperating.

I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English ― it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in.

Source: tatoeba (4731492)

Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity, and vaniloquent vapidity.

Source: tatoeba (11822378)

With Christie's words about "all-talk-no-action" in mind, notice that Obama and his two secretaries of state, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, as well as his vice president, Joe Biden, were all senators, the last two serving for two or three decades, respectively. Not forgetting the ill-fated secretary of defense, Senator Chuck Hagel. Their capacity for talking so much and saying so little is astonishing. Their verbosity is unpalatable.
