 Bibliography
Author's note
The information, opinions, and conclusions that I have presented in Clear > Concise > Compelling were developed over a 20-year period between 1987 and 2006. The contents of many dictionaries — including my beloved Random House Dictionary of the English Language (second edition, unabridged) — and other reference books will have influenced the material that finally made it into the published manuscript.
I have chosen not to list any dictionaries here, but I have been unable to list many reference books because I simply cannot remember them all (I was delving into this subject long before I committed to actually write a book). However, I will add to this list whenever memory or happenstance aids me.
