ABSTRACT
English is one of the most flexible and expressive languages in the world. Its immense
vocabulary provides for the precise and persuasive communication of ideas. It is a language of subtle verbal inflections, which enable the writer to project mood and emotion, to formulate thought and principle with clarity and impact. It is a language made for, and by, poets, playwrights and philosophers. And it is a reporter’s language in which graphic words can be used to tell a story in vivid detail.
