Mind Your Prepositions
Austin Lawyer, No. 13, October 2007
Posted: 3 Jan 2009
Abstract
We should write sentences that convey our meaning and keep the reader engaged. We should write sentences that flow. That can be hard in legal writing, but we can learn. This article discusses two preposition problems that can spoil engaging, flowing sentences. When you use excessive prepositions and compound prepositions, you chop your sentences up and bog your reader down.
