Caracteristici

  • Argues that, while not everyone is a talented writer, everyone can be taught rules of revision that will shape more effective prose.
  • Shows students how to translate the Official Style (bureaucratese and business and academic jargon) into plain English through the application of eight simple rules–a system called the Paramedic Method, because it provides emergency therapy for a language out of control.
  • Focuses on the basic architecture of the sentence as the fundamental unit of writing.
  • Helps prepare students for writing in business, government, and the university, where “The Official Style” is rampant, and provides an indispensable guide to revising in every writing context.
  • Addresses the new challenges of writing on an electronic screen.

Caracteristici noi

  • Incorporates business prose as a central focus.
  • Uses authentic government and business prose, as well as parodies, to model bad writing.
