Academics Arts Athletics Calendar ... Search You Are Here: On-Campus Office of Publications College Identity Graphic Identity ... References Diction and Composition Emphasize the active voice. Try to write direct sentences with active verbs: "This sentence needs an active verb," rather than "This sentence is in need of an active verb." The passive voice ("An active verb is needed in this sentence.") does have a place in softening a statement but will be more effective if not overused. Similarly, avoid "nounspeak" (i.e., frequent use of nouns as verbs, as in "he authored the book"), which also tends to take the action out of a sentence. Avoid cliches like the plague. Likewise, avoid vogue words: Words like "groovy," "tubular," and "grungy" are quickly dated. Avoid repetitive redundancies and meaningless modifiers: A wide variety is, after all, a variety. Try to keep academic jargon to a minimum when writing for a general audience. Did you know?

It is available on the Web at http://www.ology.org/tilt/cgh/ (if you are reading this via a mirror, you may want to check the original to make sure you're seeing an up-to-date version). This document is neither finished, nor is it even all that current. It reflects my thinking during the summer of 1995, which is that last time that I had the luxury of spending three months thinking about these kinds of things. The web changes rapidly; in some ways this document is now hopelessly out of date. In other ways, though, it still retains some valuable insights (at least, in my humble opinion). You'll have to be the judge, as the reader, because I have neither the time nor the inclination these days to try to keep this document updated. This text is still largely the same text I wrote that summer, with occasional grammatical and spelling fixes. Caveat emptor! New: This is version 2.0.20 (the old version 1 is no longer available, as of Nov 17 1997). Now that
