When we speak or write we want to be
understood and respected. We want to convey
our meaning and we want to do it in a
way that will command admiration. To
accomplish these ends we must know the
meanings of words, their specific meanings
and their connotations, implications and
overtones, and we must know how to combine
words effectively into sentences.
A dictionary can help us to understand
the meaning of a word. But the only way
to understand a word fully is to see it in
use in as many contexts as possible. This
means that anyone who wants to improve
his vocabulary must read a great deal and
must make sure that he understands what
he reads. There is no short cut to this kind
of knowledge. If a man thinks that noisome
and noisy are synonyms, if he uses focus
and nexlls interchangeably, if he sees no
difference between refute and deny and if
he assumes that disinterested means uninterested,
he will not say what he means.
Indeed, he may even say the exact opposite
of what he means.
Respectable English is a much simpler
matter. It means the kind of English that
is used by the most respected people, the
sort of English that will make readers or
listeners regard you as an educated person.
