Politics and the English Language Politics and English language What are three of the rules the author endorses in order to better your use of English Asked by Venkat S #1224538 on 3/29/2022 2:46 PM Last updated by Aslan on 3/29/2022 3:03 PM
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. Never use the passive where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
