The Fifty Best Words

Abstract

The editorial staff sincerely and clearly believes this article indicates about fifty of the most effective and notable words which should be included in any clear-headed persuasive writer's vocabulary. Free-spirited and witty, Professor McDonald shares his research findings with compassion, vision, and integrity, to provide responsible writers with significant means to improve, perhaps, their abilities—claims this impressive author—to write more directly, to improve superficial good will, but, before all, to give writers the freedom to incorporate more useful ambiguity, up to acceptable limits, in their realistic persuasive prose. Unfortunately, this experienced writer, colleague and would-be friend of the author, admits failure because he couldn't, however clever, moral, mature, and sensitive, find a use for terrorist or James Council and second because he did not have available the Japan studies.
