Chapter 8-8: Subjective Wording

Writing > Writing Essays > Subjective Wording

Subjective words, such as "good," "bad," and "effective," can be misleading and affect the accuracy of ideas presented in writing. A good strategy is to use precise and unambiguous language that accurately conveys the intended meaning. If authors must use subjective terms in essays and professional texts, they should define these expressions and provide context for the reader. Readers will then understand what is meant by the term. Additionally, varying vocabulary and avoiding repetitive language can make writing more engaging and effective.

Here is an unexhaustive example list of some subjective words:
