A Matter of Language.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
With nearly twenty years of experience
as a newspaper writer l have not lost the
high regard at first entertained for the i'm
portance of integrity in written language
There may be excuse for awkwardness in
speech; for often the mind acts too rapid
ly for the tongue and confusion of ex-
preston results. But what is of sufficient
Importance to be put into print merits con-
ciseness and carefulness of treatment
What the eye sees impresses more than
does what the ear hears. Newspaper liter
allure is a very influential director of popu-
lar notions and manners. 1t has long
been matter of regret to me to note the
increasing careleSSneSs in newspaper eff
forts-largely the result of EMPLOYING too
much young and undeveloped report orial
talent because cheap, and, to some extent
to the ignorance and laZiness of compos-
itors, who often murder, the language by
slcveniy punctuation. Many curious eff
fects are often to be seen in hastily pre-
pared matter in daily papers Without
dwelling at large upon these / am disposed
to cite one instance which appears con-
stantly in all kinds of papers, and Is a IA
vorfte expression with the writers of GER
tain very estimable ones 1t is selected
for comment only a sample In the line
of prevailing carelessness
Among other cases reported . is
that Of -" etc. Among other things he
Sdiu, cue AIMING OtnerS present were
Mr.. and Mrs. Blank" In such cases the
particular person. remark or fact cited in
detail has been segregated from the mass
Of the entire subject. The word Other
embraces all otuside the specific case
named. Now. the object segregated is not
among the other things from which 1t
has been taken out to stand by itself If
l take an orange from full basket Of the
fruit, the other oranges are those did
not take and 1t would not be correct to
say. Among other oranges 1 took this
one l did not take it among Others
but by itself. and made a distinction be-
tween 1t and the others. The expressions
above quoted, of very-day repetition should
read: Among the cases reported is that
Of" etc. Among the things he said was"
etc. or Besides other things he said," etc,
Among those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Blank" OF course, this is not a matter of
very vital Importance, yet little things
count And 1t Is largely these multiplied
and repeated trif1es that effect the integrity
of our speech and of our thinking. Care
lessness begets carelessness and even the
little Inaccuracies have a psychological i'm
portance. NJ. E. SLOANE.
