WORDS OFTEN MISUSED
Do not say, "Let's you and
me sit down for a little talk."
"Let's" is a contraction of "let
us." Therefore, the "you and
me" is superfluous and should
be omitted.
\Avoid the expression,
"ravenously hungry." Since
"ravenous" in itself means
"ettremely hungry , or
voracious," the expression is a
redundancy.
Ib "feel GOOD" means to
feel happy or to be in good
spirits. To "feel WELL" means
to be in good health.
Do not say, "Be sure to
'endorse the back of the check
before cashing it." Since one of
the meanings of "endorse" is
"to write an the back of,"
simply say, "Be sure to endorse
