Chapter 2 Summary
Word Precision
Word gives the form to our thoughts. So it should be clear and easily understood by others. Word should not create confusion on the mind of the person because it is only the medium for communication. Moreover single word may carry different meaning. We should be conscious about it as well. The meaning of the word given in the dictionary is the agreement that the society has made. Therefore we can also create our own definition formulated by our experiences. Whenever we will come across the unfamiliar words it is our duty to look in the dictionary to make it certain. Finally, we should never forget that Clear Thinking Depends On Clear Word Definitions.
