To whom is your character speaking? You want your character to use "the correct words" - I'd say the most correct words are the ones that will convey the most meaning to the listener. So if your character is talking to someone else who's well-educated and has a large vocabulary, I think this could be the right word. If your character is talking to someone with less education, I think the smart thing for your character to do would be to use a word that will be understood by the listener.
