About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...of a boy in leaping from the ground, the shape the tailor gives to the bottom of the trouser leg, or the resilient device used to absorb a shock? And our grammar, too, has many pitfalls. If you heard a man say, T have rented the house on Main Street, ' would you be certain whether he had become a landlord or a tenant? "It is, therefore, to my mind one of the most important things that a transportation man can do, that he drill himself in the correct, precise and definite use of English. Nor should he regard this as a hard thing to do. In using 100,000 words in household correspondence or in the news of the newspaper, one-half of the words consist of the repetition of the 50 following words in the numbers indicated. "It will be noted that with the exception of the word 'very these words are all of one syllable and that they convey but the one meaning: the 6,393 with 822 me 444 and 3,438 be 816 so 432 of 3,422 your 793 one 428 to 3,217 at 698 if '408 I 2,387 we 695 they 400 a 1,911 in 667 had 397 in 1,904 he 619 has 391 that 1,422 by 611. very 383 you 1,306 but 572 were 368 for 1,241 my 557 been 370 it 1,197 this 551 would 362 was 991 his 543 she 359 is 931 which 540 or 348 will 873 dear 523 there 341 as 854 from 488 her 311 have 846 are 468 an 296 not 831 all 448 "The English language contains approximately 400,000 words. The Bible makes use of from 10,000 to 12,000 words and Shakespeare of about 15,000 words, and the vocabulary of the average educated person includes perhaps 6,500 words. We employ in the conversation with which we conduct the ordinary intercourse of life only about 4,000 words and the most of those present no difficulties. The same may be said of the perhaps 1,500 words used in speaking of the various appliances apd practices ...
