A LESSON in WRITING


Today, we will look at a few aspects of good writing.
Words like 'if','of', and 'and' mainly develop relationships between words. Yet, writers use expressions like 'in conjunction with', in place of 'and' and 'when it is the case that' in place of 'if'. Or, writers tend to use ' a major portion of' in place of 'most'.
An expression like ' in conjunction with' or 'as well as' does more than 'and'. When additional meaning is not involved 'and' will do the work. Look at the following:
We hope that these data in conjunction with the other will explain the unusual diode properties.
We hope that these data and the other will explain the unusual diode properties.
