Plain English: The words of two masters
posted in Persuasive Words |
“I notice that you use plain simple language, short words and brief sentences.
That is the way to write English — it is the modern way and the best way.
Stick to it; don’t let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in.” - Mark Twain
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttle fish squirting out ink.” - George Orwell, Animal Farm
