Many of us spend the bulk of our time striving for clear and error-free copy with the use of an English writing software. Unfortunately, this focus on �correctness� often leads to ignoring other areas of your writing, particularly those that has to do with the way the language is being used.
Indeed it is a tough job if you are about to learn a new language. Generally, most writers would love to learn how to use the English language for them to be able to use it in their writing. I�ve seen a lot of people who find it hard to master the language.
Without the correct and proper way of using the language, it will be hard of the readers or even for the listeners to understand what you are trying to say. That is why most conversations lead you to confusions and misunderstandings.
Same goes with writing. Any reader who finds someone�s writing full of grammatical and spelling errors will eventually stop reading it. If you wanted to have lots of readers who will keep on reading with your writings, then use the appropriate language that will suit their taste. That includes selecting the right words for your concept and free from any grammatical and spelling errors.
Although it may take long for you to master completely a certain language, there are still guides that will aid you on how to use the language properly and effectively.
Regardless of what type of piece you are creating, your language should be appropriate for both its format and its audience. There are different aspects to this activity, some more fitting to specific materials than others.
Formality. How formal should your use of the language be? Remember that it should fit your purpose. If it�s an audience of blog readers, then keep it light and colloquial. Business correspondence? Try to keep it straight-laced. Simple as that and you can always keep this mind even if you have different purposed in writing.
Jargon. If you�re writing a tight group of civil engineers, using inside jargon that that group of people will understand is completely acceptable. For an audience composed of both engineers and non-engineers, however, it makes better sense to lay off on it. But you can still make use of such a term for those who don�t have any ideas on what is it all about by defining each words meaning in the first part of your writing.
Slang and idioms. Slang and idiomatic expressions are fine in casual writing. For academic and professional purposes, though, it has to be strictly avoided, unless you have specific instructions to write that way. However, most writers are very aware of this situation and not all of them are using slang and idiomatic expressions for academic and professional writing.
Veiled language. Words intended to mask the details, such as euphemisms and double-speak, has their place. You use it when you�re purposely being unclear. Otherwise, eliminate it completely from your writing. Your audience knows when you�re trying to deceive � you better believe it.
