Technical and foreign words are not alone in presenting difficulties, simple English, too, present pitfalls.<\/p>\n
Some words have two or more meanings.<\/p>\n
It is a fact that as a right your duty is to communicate to the reader.<\/p>\n
Always try to restrict a word to a simple sense in any one report.<\/p>\n
Simple and direct use of words help the readers understand what you write at first reading.<\/p>\n
Also, it is incumbent of you as a journalist and writer to punctuate works.<\/p>\n
Remember that you and the reader share a common understanding in the use of punctuation.<\/p>\n
It is so because it helps tell the clear meaning of what the writer is communicating to the reader.<\/p>\n
Allow me to delve a little into reasons most essential – use of punctuation.<\/p>\n
When you write and just have your sentences with a coma, it simply tells you that your sentences are incomplete. Of course, don\u2019t you also forget abiding to principles of accuracy, clarity, simple and direct use of words?<\/p>\n
Consider, in the report, on council housing, the word \u2018home.\u2019<\/p>\n
A \u2018home\u2019 can be a house where a family lives. It can also be a hostel or institution for children or old people.<\/p>\n
Never use it in both senses in the same report. Once you\u2019ve used a word in a particular sense, the reader expects you to go on doing so.<\/p>\n
The reader also expects you to use the same words whenever you want to convey the same meaning, introducing a different word will suggest that you intend a different meaning.<\/p>\n
Conscious good English requires variety; journalists are often chary repeating the same word. Good bye, see in my next class.<\/p>\n
