Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 18: Organ for Young Latter-Day Saints; July 15, 1883
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts beat once more and forever lay still.’ The French and Latin elements of our language of cours have their place and use, and cannot be left out; but the anglo-saxon should furnish the staple of our common writ ing and talk.
Avoid equivocal and ambiguous words, technical terms, unless absolutely ’necessary, and, above all, low expressions and vulgarisms. A man is known almost as well by the words he uses as by the company he keeps. Choose both from among the best.
