  16. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  17. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  18. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;semicolon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is used to mark the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;division of a sentence&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; somewhat &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;more independent than that marked by a comma&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  19. &lt;/div&gt;
  20. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  21. &lt;/div&gt;
  22. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  23. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  24. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;I. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Use a semicolon to &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;connect two or more independent clauses&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  25. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  26. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  27. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  28. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;It is so in war; it is
  29. so in economic life; it cannot be otherwise in religion&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  30. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  31. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  32. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  33. Each division of the above sentence &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;could stand independently&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;. Breaking the thought into three sentences would slow it down. Connecting the separate thoughts with semicolons creates a flow and/or sense of urgency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  34. &lt;br /&gt;
  35. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  36. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;II. Note that a semicolon may &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;replace the use of a comma and conjunction&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  37. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  38. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  39. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  40. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  41. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  42. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It is so in war, and it is so in economic life, and it cannot be otherwise in religion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  43. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  44. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  45. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  46. Use &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;either a semicolon OR a comma and a conjunction&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, but never both together.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  47. &lt;br /&gt;
  48. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  49. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;III. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Use a semicolon &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;before transitional adverbs&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  50. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  51. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  52. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  53. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;Sarah wanted to buy a Pomeranian; &lt;i&gt;however&lt;/i&gt;, her landlord nixed the idea&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  54. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  55. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  56. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  57. &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Then, however, thus, hence, indeed, accordingly, besides&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;therefore&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are considered&lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;adverbs rather than conjunctions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and therefore may be preceded by a semicolon when used to transition from one clause to another.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  58. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  59. &lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;When the adverbs &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;yet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;so&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;used transitionally as conjunctions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, they are preceded by a comma:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  60. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  61. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  62. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  63. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It was raining, so I borrowed Ralph&#39;s umbrella. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  64. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  65. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  66. &lt;br /&gt;
  67. &lt;br /&gt;
  68. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  69. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;IV. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;In enumerations&lt;/span&gt; use a semicolon &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;between the
  70. different links&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  71. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  72. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  73. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  74. &lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The defendant, in justification of his act, pleaded that (i) he was
  75. despondent over the loss of his wife; (2) he was out of work; (3) he had
  76. had nothing to eat for two days; (4) he was under the influence of
  77. liquor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  78. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  79. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  80. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  81. And:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  82. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  83. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  84. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The membership of the international commission was
  85. made up as follows: France, 4; Germany, 5; Great Britain, 1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  86. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  87. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  88. And also: &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  89. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  90. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  91. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;

  573. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;fundamental purpose of punctuation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is to use marks to &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;group words&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  578. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;I. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;Meaning depends on grouping&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

  582. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  583. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  584. The &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;meaning of language
  585. depends very largely upon the groupings of its words&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. In very simple
  586. language, words are so placed that each word is related to a word or
  587. words immediately or closely following or preceding it. In such language
  588. the reader is hardly conscious that the words are grouped, except into
  589. sentences; and no mark may be required, except the end-mark.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  590. &lt;br /&gt;
  591. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;
  592. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  593. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;II. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;Grouping clarifies&lt;/span&gt; when there is &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;more than one possible meaning&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  594. &lt;/div&gt;
  595. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  596. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;

  598. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  599. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;The prisoner said the witness was a convicted thief.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  600. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  601. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  602. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  603. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;vs&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  604. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  605. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  606. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  607. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;The prisoner&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; said the witness&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; was a convicted thief.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  608. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  609. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  610. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  611. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  612. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;
  613. In more complex
  614. language the grouping within the sentence becomes manifest to the
  615. reader, and two constructions and &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;two meanings of the language often
  616. become possible&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. In order to notify the reader which meaning the
  617. language is intended to convey, the writer may &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;use a punctuation mark to flag the
  618. point where the meaning may be mistaken&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. The reader notes the flag and thus &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;keeps on the right line of thought-development.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  622. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;III. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;When to use a mark&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;what mark to use&lt;/span&gt;, are determined by &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;convention&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;or by &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;reason&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  623. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  624. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  625. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;
  626. In the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;absence of marks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the relationship between words are either &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;easily mistaken&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or not quickly understood.&lt;/div&gt;
  627. &lt;/div&gt;
  628. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  629. &lt;/div&gt;
  630. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  631. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;
  632. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  633. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  634. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Mr. Smith came to the city in 1985 and moved into the house at 1985 Wabash Avenue. He brought with him 1,985 horses, valued at $198, 500.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  635. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  636. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  637. How does punctuation enable the reader to obtain the meaning at one point in the above sentences, and so to group the language (figures) at another point that he can apprehend the meaning at a glance?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  638. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  639. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  640. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;Convention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  641. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  642. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  643. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  644. Because of &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;convention&lt;/i&gt; (well-nigh universal usage)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the above &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;date &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;street &lt;/span&gt;numbers are read &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;nineteen &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;hundred eigh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;ty-five&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  645. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  646. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  647. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  648. In the fourth number in our example above we &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;use a comma to do one
  649. grouping&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and a &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;period to make another (the cents) group&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. We call the
  650. use of the period in this number &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;conventional &lt;/span&gt;punctuation.&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  651. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  652. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  653. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  654. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;B. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;Reason&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  655. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  656. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  657. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  658. But the same number in the next sentence is read &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;one &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;thousand nine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;hundred &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;eighty-five.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  659. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  660. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  661. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  662. As we all know, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;in arithmetical notation three figures form a group&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, the groups so formed being named &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;units, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;thou&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;sands, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;millions, &lt;/span&gt;etc. It is therefore evident that, in reading a number containing two or more such groups, the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;eye will be aided if the groups are indicated by some mark&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. (We here use the comma and the period for this purpose.) Although the left-hand group of a number may not be full, a figure in that group takes the name of the group, and so we mark it off. Thus we use commas in two of the numbers in our example, one of which (1,985) has only one figure in the second (thousand) group. This we call &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;punctuation by &lt;i&gt;reason&lt;/i&gt;, for we thus point off natural groups&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  663. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  664. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  665. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  666. We do not use the comma to group the figures in the same number (1985) used in two other places in the above example. Because date and street numbers of four figures are read in groups of two figures each the eye readily does the grouping, and a mark is not needed as an aid in the grouping. This is also punctuation by &lt;i&gt;reason&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  667. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  668. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  669. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  670. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;C. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;Our problem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  671. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  672. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  673. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  674. Our problem is to &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;find a reason for the use of every punctuation mark&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and to be ready to point out what seems to us good conventional usage in punctuation for which we can find no reason.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  675. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  676. &lt;/div&gt;
  677. &lt;/div&gt;
  678. &lt;/div&gt;
  679. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;#writing&amp;nbsp; #composition&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; #English &amp;nbsp; #ESL &amp;nbsp; #englishasasecondlanguage&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

  837. correct in grammar and general meaning, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;combines words in a manner
  838. contrary to usage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

  854. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  855. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  856. In selecting words with a view to their accuracy, we must &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;take into
  857. account the fact that some words naturally go well together and some
  858. others do not&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Our words may be entirely correct from the point of
  859. view of their individual meanings and of their individual suitability
  860. to the occasion before us and yet not be acceptable because they &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;do
  861. not combine in accordance with generally recognized usage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. “I enjoy to read” is wrong, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;not
  862. because the words offend logic or grammar, but merely because people
  863. do not instinctively make that combination of words&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. “I like to
  864. read” and “I enjoy reading” are good idioms. &lt;/div&gt;
  865. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  866. &lt;h3 class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  867. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;II. Idioms are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;established by custom rather than logic&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  868. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  869. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“My house is &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;different from&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; yours.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  870. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  871. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  872. It is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;difficult to explain by grammar or logic why
  873. one word combination is accepted and another is not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.
  874. Grammar or logic can never furnish an adequate explanation of this
  875. fact. Of two forms, equally justifiable by all rules of grammar, we
  876. instinctively accept the one and reject the other. It is this
  877. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;unscientific nature of the idiom which makes it so difficult to deal
  878. with&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. If a man says, “I done it as good as I could,” we can
  879. explain his errors to him in a very definite way and we can justify
  880. our corrections by an appeal to very definite grammatical rules. But
  881. if he says, “My house is different than yours,” rather than “My house is different from yours,” the task of
  882. explaining his error is much more difficult. In the latter case our
  883. criticism is not that he has violated any specific grammatical rule
  884. but that he has committed an offense against good idiomatic English.
  885. His &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;usage is not in conformity with the particular phraseology which
  886. has received general recognition by knowledgeable users of the
  887. language&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. He displays a lack of appreciation of the spirit of
  888. English. &lt;/div&gt;
  889. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  890. &lt;h3 class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  891. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; name=&quot;PA256&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;III. Violations result from the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;incorrect use of prepositions&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  892. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  893. Many violations of English
  894. idiom result, as in the examples given above, from an incorrect use
  895. of prepositions. The&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; incorrect combination “different than” is probably the
  896. most common of all of these violations&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. It needs to be guarded
  897. against with special care, particularly when the two words &lt;i&gt;different
  898. &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;from &lt;/i&gt;are separated by intervening words. To make a
  899. list of English idioms would be equivalent to making a new
  900. dictionary. The following examples are intended only to represent
  901. some types of &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;everyday idioms which everyone should master&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1837. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1838. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1839. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1840. Here the speaker or writer incorrectly uses a reflexive pronoun rather than the correct subjective pronoun: “&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My father, my mother, and &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; live in Seattle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1845. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1846. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1847. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1848. There is an error in the tense of the verb “done,”  and in the use of the adjective “good” to modify it. This sentence should read, “&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;High school students&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;benefit from&lt;/i&gt; having to take three years of science&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1852. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1853. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1854. The being verb has been omitted: “&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;This car &lt;i&gt;needs to be washed&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1858. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1859. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;There may be solecisms that are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;grammatically correct&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;, but&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;they are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;violations of idiom&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1860. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  1861. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;I &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; hunger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1862. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1863. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1864. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1865. If we say “I have hunger,” we do not commit
  1866. bad grammar; still &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;the combination is not English, it is French&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1867. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  1868. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;He was &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;acquitted to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; the crime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1869. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1870. “He was acquitted to the crime” is not according to idiom. The sentence should read, “&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;He was &lt;i&gt;acquitted of&lt;/i&gt; the crime&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1871. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  1872. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1873. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1874. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;We are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;glad for&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; the chance to serve you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1875. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1876. &lt;/div&gt;
  1877. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1878. This is not according to idiom. The sentence should read, “&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;We are &lt;i&gt;glad of&lt;/i&gt; the chance to serve you&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1879. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1880. Violation of idiom becomes &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;harder to recognize&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; when living in an area where the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;violation has become the regional norm&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1881. &lt;/div&gt;

  1947. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tautology&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; means the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;repetition, often needless, of the same sense in different
  1948. words&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1949. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1950. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1951. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“In the Attic commonwealth, it was the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;
  1952. privilege&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;birthright&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; of every citizen and poet, to rail aloud and in
  1953. public.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; —&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Swift&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  1955. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1956. The &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;meaning is the same&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as, &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;it was the privilege of every
  1957. citizen to rail in public.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1958. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1959. In another example from Addison:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1960. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1961. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1962. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;The &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;dawn is overcast&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;morning lowers&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;,  And &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;heavily in clouds&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;brings on the day&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1963. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1964. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1965. These three clauses &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;all express the same fact&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1966. &lt;br /&gt;
  1967. &lt;br /&gt;
  1968. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  1969. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;II. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;Normally to be avoided&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  1970. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1971. Often tautologies &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;simply reflect sloppiness of style&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. It
  1972. is desirable to avoid such tautologies as the &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;standard pattern,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; the &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;verdant green,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;some few&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;,” and other &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;redundancies that add words but no new meaning&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1973. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1974. In the same way, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;excess of
  1975. inflection is a type of grammatical tautology&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to be avoided: as &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;chiefest,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;extremest,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;worser,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt; most highest.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1976. &lt;br /&gt;
  1977. &lt;br /&gt;
  1978. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  1979. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;III. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;Can be used intentionally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  1980. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1981. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  1982. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A. Use &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;when one word does not express the full sense&lt;/span&gt; intended. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  1983. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1984. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1985. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1986. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;No
  1987. two words are exactly synonymous&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for all purposes; one has a shade that
  1988. the other wants, and it&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt; &lt;b&gt;may take the intentional use both to give the whole meaning&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Hence
  1989. we are accustomed to such phrases as &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;ways and means,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;passing and
  1990. transitory,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;subject-matter.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; In legal documents synonymous words are
  1991. joined for the sake of &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;exhaustive completeness&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. When Wordsworth couples &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;the vision and the faculty divine,&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; he intends that the two phrases,
  1992. which are nearly alike, should &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;unfold between them a greater amount of
  1993. meaning&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; than either conveys. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1994. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1995. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  1996. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  1997. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;B. Use &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;for the sake of greater emphasis&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  1998. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  1999. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2000. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2001. Good
  2002. exposition requires that the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;main subject should be distinguished from
  2003. the subordinate parts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. This is effected, among other ways, by intentionally &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;dwelling
  2004. longer upon it&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. In that case, repetition by means of equivalent phrases may be resorted to. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;The head and front of his offending&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;the
  2005. end and design.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2006. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2007. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2008. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  2009. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;C. Use &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;to reflect strong passion&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  2010. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2011. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2012. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2013. Chatham&#39;s
  2014. famous address abounds in tautologies, but they work because they are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;used intentionally to stir the emotions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; of his audience.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2015. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  2262. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  2263. There are&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;occasions when the desired effects of
  2264. style are gained by diffuseness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. For example, an explanation
  2265. must be suited in length to the state of mind of the persons
  2266. addressed, while things well known are recalled by brief allusion. In
  2267. working up the feelings, a certain length of time is requisite, which
  2268. the orator and poet know how to adjust. Again, in suiting the sound
  2269. to the sense, a polysyllabic word, or a lengthened clause, may be
  2270. required. Thus the long word &lt;i&gt;stupendous &lt;/i&gt;better corresponds
  2271. with a state of intense astonishment than the monosyllable &lt;i&gt;vast;
  2272. magnificent &lt;/i&gt;is more powerful than &lt;i&gt;grand. &lt;/i&gt;The high sounding
  2273. word &lt;i&gt;ambassador &lt;/i&gt;suits a dignified functionary; while we often
  2274. express contempt by a curt appellation, as a flirt, a fop, a sot, a
  2275. thief, bosh.
  2276. &lt;/div&gt;
  2277. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2278. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2279. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  2280. It is a &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;general rule that an excess of the
  2281. connecting parts of speech&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;—as pronouns and conjunctions—&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;enfeebles
  2282. the style&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Yet emphasis sometimes requires their multiplication, as
  2283. in the words Milton:&lt;/div&gt;
  2284. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  2571. Puns abound in all languages. Many persons obtain
  2572. a great reputation for wits, founded only on the frequent use of
  2573. them. For example, one day &lt;a href=&quot;https://books.google.com/books?id=0T0BAAAAQAAJ&amp;amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;amp;q&amp;amp;f=false&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;William Henry Curran&lt;/a&gt; was walking with a friend who was
  2574. punctilious in the use of language. Hearing a person say ‘curosity’
  2575. for ‘curiosity,’ he exclaimed,&lt;/div&gt;
  2576. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2577. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2578. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2579. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  2580. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“How that man &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;murders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;the
  2581. language!”&lt;br /&gt;“Not quite &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;murders&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;
  2582. &lt;/i&gt;replied Curran, “he only knocks an &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;i &lt;/i&gt;(eye)&lt;/span&gt; out.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  2583. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2584. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  2585. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  2586. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  2587. The
  2588. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;two meanings of the word pronounced “&lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;,”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  2589. &lt;/span&gt;and the fanciful connection of knocking an eye out with
  2590. murder, constituted the expression a kind of &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;double pun&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and made the
  2591. reply truly witty.&lt;/div&gt;
  2592. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  3572. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  3574. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  3575. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  3576. The speaker
  3577. puts forth in the form of questions what he&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;neither doubts nor
  3578. expects to be answered&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. A certain pitch of excitement is requisite to
  3579. justify the boldness of this figure.&lt;/div&gt;

  4271. &lt;/div&gt;
  4272. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4273. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4274. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4275. &lt;br /&gt;
  4276. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4277. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;I. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;Words and ideas are contrasted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4278. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4279. Examples: &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4280. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4281. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4282. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;&quot;&gt;
  4283. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Wit &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;laughs at&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; things; humor &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;laughs with&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4284. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4285. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4286. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4287. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4288. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; text-indent: 1em;&quot;&gt;
  4289. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Faithful&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;wounds of a friend&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, but the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;kisses of an enemy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;deceitful&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4290. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4291. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4292. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4293. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4294. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4295. &lt;h3 class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4296. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A. The human &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;mind is affected by changes of impression&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4297. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4298. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4299. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4300. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4301. For instance, passing from&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;hot
  4302. to cold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, from &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;hunger to repletion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, from &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sound to silence&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. This
  4303. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;applies to both feeling and knowledge&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
  4304. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4305. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4306. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4307. &lt;h3 class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4308. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;B. Feelings imply that we have
  4309. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;passed from one condition to another&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4310. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4311. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4312. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4313. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4314. In some emotions, the prominent fact is a &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;transition from a previous state&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;shock
  4315. of change&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;is the&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;cause of the feeling&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. In like manner, a &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sense of
  4316. freedom presupposes restraint&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;sentiment of power some
  4317. previous state of impotence or weakness&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
  4318. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4319. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4320. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4321. &lt;h3 class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4322. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;C. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;Knowledge&lt;/span&gt;, likewise, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;implies transition&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4323. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4324. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4325. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4326. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4327. We know
  4328. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;light &lt;/i&gt;by having passed out of the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;dark&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;height &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;by
  4329. comparison with &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;depth&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;hardness &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;with &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;softness&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;In
  4330. short, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;knowledge is never single&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; it must have &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;at least two objects&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;,
  4331. sometimes more than two. Our knowledge of man, for instance, takes in
  4332. all that we ever contrast with man—God, angel, animal, &amp;amp;c.&lt;/div&gt;
  4333. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4334. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4335. &lt;h3 class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4336. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;II. Objects become more and &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;more impressive by contrast&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4337. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4338. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4339. Antithesis &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;gives vividness&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to an idea &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;by putting it in contrast with
  4340. its opposite&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
  4341. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4342. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4343. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4344. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4345. Thus, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;white
  4346. appears even more bright when placed in contrast with black&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; a &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;tall man
  4347. seems taller when placed by the side of a dwarf&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; and &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;either noise or
  4348. silence is most impressive when immediately following the other&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;
  4349. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4350. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4351. &lt;h3 class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4352. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;III. The purest form of antithesis is &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;opposite iteration&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4353. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4354. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4355. &lt;/div&gt;
  4356. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4357. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4358. In an obverse proposition,
  4359. the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;equivalent fact is stated from the opposite side&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4360. &lt;/div&gt;
  4361. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  4362. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Heat relaxes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; the
  4363. system; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;cold braces&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4364. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  4365. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Light cheers&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;darkness depresses&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4366. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4367. &lt;br /&gt;
  4368. &lt;h3&gt;
  4369. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;IV. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;Using antithesis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4370. &lt;/div&gt;
  4371. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4372. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4373. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4374. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A. The &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d0e0e3;&quot;&gt;contrasted ideas&lt;/span&gt; should have the &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9d2e9;&quot;&gt;same verbal construction&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4375. &lt;/div&gt;
  4376. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4377. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4378. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4379. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4380. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4381. &lt;b&gt;1.&lt;/b&gt;The proper form of antithesis is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.in-nuce.com/2012/09/writing-balanced-sentences.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #cfe2f3;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;balanced sentence&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but there may be antithesis of thought without using the
  4382. balanced sentence to express it.&lt;/div&gt;
  4383. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4384. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4385. &lt;div class=&quot;gtxt_body&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4386. &lt;span style=&quot;font-variant: small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4387. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4388. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4389. &lt;b&gt;2.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ead1dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nouns should be contrasted with nouns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f4cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;verbs with verbs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, etc.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4390. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4391. &lt;/div&gt;
  4392. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4393. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4394. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4395. &lt;b&gt;3.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fce5cd;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contrasted clauses&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; should be as nearly &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fff2cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;alike in length and
  4396. construction&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as possible.&lt;/div&gt;
  4397. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4398. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4399. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4400. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4401. &lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  4402. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;B. Antithesis &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #d9ead3;&quot;&gt;should be used sparingly&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  4403. &lt;/div&gt;
  4404. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4405. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4406. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4407. &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
  4408. When
  4409. employed too frequently it is likely to produce the impression that the
  4410. author is less interested in what he has to say than in the manner of
  4411. saying it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4412. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  4413. &lt;div class=&quot;western&quot;&gt;
  4414. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
