Writing with Precision is a style guide by Jefferson D. Bates, a writer with more than forty years of experience. It sets out ten principles and seven axioms for clear, effective prose, and this expanded edition adds a glossary of American idiomatic expressions, chapters on compound words, hyphenation, numeration and capitalization, and explanations of technical writing problems with exercises. It suits people who write for work — reports, memos, manuals, correspondence — more than novelists. Against general style manuals like Strunk and White's Elements of Style, it is longer and more practical, with exercises and idiom help aimed at writers whose first language is not English.
