"Using just the right word is important"

[Geoff Hart]

Late for the Friday files, but what the heck... it's a long weekend  
for most techwhirlers!

Tip of the hat to Uncle Jay (http://www.unclejayexplains.com/, May  
26th installment) for a humorous take on a subject near and dear to  
the hearts of writers: using just the right word. Why use the $10  
word when the $1 word works just fine?

A note to the Dilbertian wage slave: not all the scenes are work- 
friendly. (Yes, in a perfect world, employers would have a sense of  
humor and this disclaimer would seem unnecessary. In reality...)
