    The Complete Plain Words

    The document discusses the importance of using precise language to accurately convey one's intended meaning from one mind to another. It advises expressing oneself in a clear, simple manner using well-chosen, significant terms and giving one's thoughts a harmonious structure to avoid being unclear or complex, but rather be clear and intelligible to the audience. The ultimate goal of speech is to transfer an idea as exactly as possible from one person to another, so language should be structured economically to best achieve this end.

    Do you know, say and convey what you mean? Using the right word is all-important.

    Do but take care to express yourself in a plain, easy manner in well-chosen


    .significant and decent terms. and to give a harmonious and pleasing turn to your
    periods ,study to explain your thoughts, and set them in the truest light,
    labouring as much as possible .not to leave them dark nor intricate ,but clear and
    intelligible .
    The final cause of speech is to get an idea as exactly as possible out of one mind
    into another. Its formal cause therefore is such choice and disposition of words
    as will achieve this end most economically.
