Reflection:
1. “One helpful approach is to try to separate usage from jargon.”
之前读第一章时群里有小伙伴（Regina Adelaide）提到了critical thinking中对专业用语（不可以有judgement, caregiver等）的思考，没想到这里作者也明确提了出来。
2. “Good usage, to me, consists of using good words if they already exist—as they almost always do—to express myself clearly and simply to someone else. ”
恰恰也是我认为的最好的文字，明晰而简洁。
3. Unity of pronoun or tense or mood. Unity is the anchor of good writing.
