William Zinsser Quotes

Beware, Then, Of The Long Word That's No Better Than The Short Word: "assistance" (help), "numerous" (many), "facilitate" (ease), "Individual" (man Or Woman), "remainder" (rest), "initial" (first), "implement" (do), "sufficient" (enough), "attempt" (try), "referred To As" (called), And Hundreds More. Beware Of All The Slippery New Fad Words: Paradigm And Parameter, Prioritize And Potentialize. They Are All Weeds That Will Smother What You Write. Don't Dialogue With Someone You Can Talk To. Don't Interface With Anybody.
