Words That Make You Sound Precise

From 'that thing was really good' to saying exactly what you mean: specific nouns, strong verbs, honest intensity and word economy.

£2.99

What's inside

  • What do you actually mean, and the vague word alarm
  • Naming things properly and choosing the exact verb
  • Strong verb, fewer words, and what 'got' really hides
  • Too strong, too weak, and the intensity scale
  • Accurate or dramatic, and always, never, everyone
  • Replacing 'a lot', and when numbers help or do not
  • Removing padding, saying it in half the words, the 15 word challenge
  • Precise is not rude: useful criticism and precise compliments
  • Word choice changes character and tone, and neutral language
  • Facts before judgement, describing behaviour, precise requests
  • Directions, time language, comparison and using evidence
  • Definitely, probably or possibly, plus advert and headline detective work
