From the Author
Robert Hartwell Fiske writes:
Inadequate though they may be, words distinguish us from all other living things. Only we humans can reflect on the past and plan for the future; it is language that allows us to do so. Indeed, our worth is partly in our words. Effective use of language--clear writing and speaking--is a measure of our humanness. ... Not only will The Writer's Digest Dictionary of Concise Writing help you speak and write more clearly, it will help you understand humankind more keenly.
