Abstract :
Subtle errors in the use of English are described in the context of business and professional communication. For example, words misused are “impact,” “appraise,” “advise,” and “only.” Overused are “very,” “highly,” and “would like.” Other examples are given of imprecise phrasing, redundancy, and misplaced commas.
