Ahoy crew,
Someone linked me this article with tips on word usage.
5 Tips for Word Use in Your Novel by JosephBlakeParker on DeviantArt
I especially like the bit where the writer defines different ways of relating to words. I think this is something that's important for us as writers to consider, both in our stories, and when communicating with each other here on the forums.
I've seen more than one discussion where people here have basically agreed on something, but because they used the words differently they kept arguing/discussing as if in actual disagreement.
