Word Avoidance Guide For Wellesley Students
A collage of usage cautions from Philadelphia Times on phrasing young ladies should shun. Examples include plain forms like I guess for I suppose, fix things for arrange, ride and drive interchangeably, real good for very good, and I had better for would better. The note cautions on immediacy and clarity, with quotes from The Century and Buffalo Courier.
