On Writing Well passage
"every profession has its growing arsenal of jargon to throw dust in the eyes of the populace" This line is very interesting but true. Every profession, especially doctors, have all these complicated words and phrases that they use. Typically, if not all the time, there is a simpler way to state what they are saying. Why say streptococcus when you can just say strept throat? Everyone knows what strept throat means but not all know the actual fancy term. The author tries to show that fancy words do not make good writing. If you keep things simple your writing and speaking will be must easier to understand and enjoy.
