LIFE: Whiters, WRITER is one who can use words to express ideas. He is assumed to have an adequate working vocabulary and the requisite skill to construct his sentences with euphony, neatness and precision, But merely because a man knows how to it doesn’t follow at all that he knows anything else. This is a common error. It persists, no doubt, from the early days when there were so few writers that none of them would dare to waste his time unless he had some im- portant idea to write about. But in these days, when everybody writes, the profession no longer carries distinction. The result is that those who write professionally are forced to write so much that they rarely have the time to get acquainted with what they are writing about.
