Force, elegance, and variety of style are more difficult to teach, and far more difficult to learn; but clear writing can be reduced to rules. To teach the art of writing clearly is the main object of these Rules and Exercises." Includes writing rules on brevity, clearness and force, word order, participles, prepositions, exceptions to rules, redundancy, proper use of adverbs and more. 56953 2005 How to Write Clearly: Rules and Exercises on English Composition total:1|5:0|4:0|3:0|2:0|1:1| 1 1 4 0 1 0 false false Tue Oct 13 02:37:35 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 02:37:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 30 15:11:34 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 15:11:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 14 22:14:13 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 22:14:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 14 05:34:48 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 05:34:48 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6281812
