Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanics of Writing In order to write English in a way that befits an educated person, one must know a certain body of rules. The term rules is here used in a wide sense, including not only general precepts, such as the dictum that in a sentence "every part should be subservient to one principal affirmation," but also those numerous particular precepts which refuse to merge themselves into convenient generalizations - for instance, those to the effect that it is bad English to say "I devote my evenings in study" for "I devote my evenings to study," that the verb except should not be used in the sense of accept, nor the noun principle in the sense of the adjective principal, and that all right should be written as two words, the first spelled with two l's. When I say that one must know these rules, I mean that one must not merely be acquainted with them, but habitually observe them. Some of these rules are known and followed by nearly every person who has grown up in an English-speaking community. Nearly every such person knows, for example, the correct meaning of several hundred English words (that is to say, he knows several hundred rules directing how these words should be used); knows how to spell certain words, fewer than those which he knows how to use; and knows that the pronoun I and such nouns as John, Mary, Smith, and Jones should be capitalized. But ignorance of many other rules - which might easily be enumerated if there were any need - is shared by children in the grammar school, boys and girls in high school, high-school graduates of recent and of long standing, college freshmen, college seniors, bachelors and masters of arts, and members of the learned professions.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994.

Perhaps only one man in a hundred will appreciate your good English, but is he not the only man in the hundred whose appreciation is worth caring for?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thought-Building in Composition: A Training-Manual in the Method and Mechanics of Writing, With a Supplementary Division on Journalistic Writing as a Means of Practice A few words Of explanation are in place to teachers who may chance to see this booklet. First. The manual has been prepared as a manual of practice, not of theory. Purposely, the theory has been limited to bare essentials; for the author, re gretfully but surely, has been gradually forced to the conclusion that, under present educational condi tions, the study of verbal expression in, anything but its fundamentals is better postponed to later college years, or at least reserved for the comparatively few students who Show especial ability or develop par ticular interest in it. Moreover, even the gifted and the specially interested are, at the age Of college fresh men, ordinarily not SO far advanced that extended practice in applying the foundation principles of the art will not be as good a training as they can have.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual for Writers: Covering the Needs of Authors for Information on Rules of Writing and Practices in Printing The Manual of Style of the University of Chicago Press, originally published as a guide for printers, proof readers, and copy-editors, was soon found to be so use ful to writers for the press, secretaries, stenographers, typists, and all other classes of persons interested in writ ing, that the demand for it became very great, and the volume has passed through three editions, each more voluminous than the preceding. Several of its chap ters, however, though of prime interest to printers, are of comparatively slight value to writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Writing English: A Manual for Students: With Chapters on Paraphrasing, Essay-Writing, Precis-Writing, Punctuation, and Other Matters This book has been written for the purpose of guiding the young student into the right path, and of saving him from wasting his time in exercises that are not only of no use to him, 'but are positive hindrances in the way of his learning to write good, clear, and firm English. The use of Analysis as a guide to Composition - as it is sometimes called - proves to be the veriest Slough of Despond, in which the student can neither swim nor walk. The writer has not worried his pupils with a large number of rules and meticulous directions, but has tried to set their feet in a plain path, has tried to show them the road to freedom and power - and perhaps even to delight in adequate and rhythmic expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter, Form and Style: A Manual of Practice in the Writing of English Composition But I may be allowed to emphasize here the principle which has guided me - namely, that in all forms of composition it is with the mass that one should begin at first, gradually paying more attention to the details of form and style. I have felt that many methods of teaching were doomed to failure because they took the component parts of a subject first, each part separately, so that the pupil could not see the wood for the trees. Whereas it would appear more human and humane to get first the creative act, and then shape the thing created.
