Guide to Grammar and Style -- J
From the Guide to Grammar and Style by Jack Lynch.
Comments are welcome.
Jargon is the bane of too
much writing -- not only academic writing but business English
suffers from jargon and technobabble. Of course some technical
terms are useful and even necessary, but the English language
should not be abused with these phrases: sign off on,
re, imperative,
impact, methodology, functionality, network, parameters,
&c.
It's better
to leave your papers "ragged right" (or "flush left"): don't play
with full justification, which introduces big gaps into the
lines. See also Fonts.
