Write It Wrong: Abusing Words for Effect | BayesianWatch

https://bayesianwatch.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/write-it-wrong-abusing-words-for-effect

Bayesian argument analysis in action. Write It Wrong: Abusing Words for Effect. Asymp; Leave a comment. I recently came across the Dover reprint of Ambrose Bierce’s Write It Right. While it is an interesting collection of words Bierce thought were improperly used, I cannot recommend it. It has some use as a guide to closely related words confused with one another, but for that purpose I would recommend instead SI Hayakawa’s. Choose the Right Word. In a strange metaphor for an evolution skeptic. The probl...

Bayesian argument analysis in action. Steven Pinker’s The Sense of Style. Asymp; 3 Comments. Being a professional writer (as most academics are), I have read many books on style. Most of them are opinionated, fussy and annoying such as Strunk and White’s most (in)famous book,. The Elements of Style. Some are opinionated, fussy and amusing such as Fowler’s. A Dictionary of Modern English Usage. The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century. 1 Look things up. Humans are...
