Zippy Writing: How To Use English Correctly, Clearly and Concisely

By Joseph D. Keefer

Zippy Writing, a concise and easy-to-use book, helps students and professionals in writing-intensive fields meet high standards of English usage. Zippy Writing is divided into three sections. Section 1-Using English Correctly-addresses English usage issues that seem to trouble even experienced writers, such as the use of "phony words," the misuse of pronouns and the confusing of certain pairs of sound-alike words. Section 2-Using English Clearly-emphasizes the need to write in active voice, the need to avoid weak verb constructions and the need to avoid disrupting the flow of a sentence. Section 3-Using English Concisely-offers guidance on avoiding the use of wordy phrases and unneeded words.
