Clear language.Dear editor, Thank you for your thoughtful editorial in the June issue, (Why can't we simply say what we mean?) Yon have taken on a subject of major importance and dealt with it well. Writing teams and committees often fail miserably mis·er·a·ble adj. 1. Very uncomfortable or unhappy; wretched. 2. Causing or accompanied by great discomfort or distress: a miserable climate. 3. in communicating their proceedings and/or decisions. The English philosopher, G.E. Moore Moore, city (1990 pop. 40,761), Cleveland co., central Okla., a suburb of Oklahoma City; inc. 1887. Its manufactures include lightning- and surge-protection equipment, packaging for foods, and auto parts. (1873-1958), called his confreres to task for not using clear, plain language. He was one of the founding members of the linguistic analysis school. In many ways I equate e·quate v. e·quat·ed, e·quat·ing, e·quates v.tr. 1. To make equal or equivalent. 2. To reduce to a standard or an average; equalize. 3. the search for consensus in our church deliberations with the parallel task of trying to communicate the outcome (if any). The problem is not only lack of direction, but pure mumbo-jumbo. Malcolm Evans Malcolm Evans may refer to:
