[2023-04-21 13:44:19]
Smart writers should avoid using multi-syllable Latin. Or as Richard Lederer mentioned in "Language Miracle" (Pocket Books, 1992)
"There is no law to ask you to use big words when talking, short words are as good as long words, old words such as sun, grass, house are the best, not only many small words. You might think that you can use the power of Big Word, elegance and charm to satisfy your needs.
For people who listen to what you say and who read what you write, big words can make people shine. They make your prose thick. A little word is what we know from birth. Like warm flames, they warm their families and clearly reveal big things. Get up late, love and hate, war and peace, life and death
The phrase is very bright like a spark from the night, a sharp blade, a cheek like a salt tear, a moth like a moth flying like a flame from a flame, a dart like a bee or a sting
If you have a long story to say what you want, do not be afraid to use it. However, our tongue has plenty of crisp, lively, quick and short words. Let them be the backbone and mind of what you say and write. Like fast friends, they will not let you down. "
Lederer uses only a single syllable to write the title and the above four paragraphs. His words are easy to read, his views are clear. How is your writing?
The phrase phrase by Richard Lederer explains that phrases can represent your point of view more effectively than many longwords. He said, "more small words than you think can satisfy your needs with power, elegance and charm that big words do not have." As this article is being asked for higher demands, English users can use short, clear, and quick words instead of long words. Lederer stated that English students should make efforts to make them "simple" and "easy to understand" when using words. It is not easy to make others understand your thoughts, thoughts, emotions, and even native speakers. By keeping it simple and accurate, we encourage greater understanding
As Richard Lederer points out correctly, phrases can meet the needs of speakers and writers, with power, elegance, and charm that are not in big words. Short words can express expressions of day and night, love and hatred, war and peace, war and peace, life and death clearly, and big words read what you wrote and darken those who hear what you say I can. For eyes, ears, heart, and mind, big words sometimes look odd. Over the centuries our best poet and speaker recognized and used the power of small words to make a direct view between the two ideas. Even a lot of our proverbs got their point with a short monosyllabic: "There is a will, There is a way", "Time stitch saves nine", "Lao, destroys children" , "Birds are in the bushes There are two values in the middle hand"
There is no law that requires you to use big words when you say say. Short words are as good as long words, short and old words - sun, grass, like home - are the best. More small words than you think can satisfy your needs with power, elegance and charm that big words do not have. For those who read what you wrote and listen to what you said, big words can make people shine. Small words clearly represent the great things of day and night, love and hatred, war and peace, and life and death. Sometimes, big words make mysterious eyes, ears, heart, and mind. From the moment we were born, we seem to have learned some small words, like the warmth of the family's fire.
