Here is another example of the same kind to show the inappropriateness of a formal style mixed with colloquialism In a letter of application you begin thus
Dear Sirs
I am writing to you in the hope that you still have a vacant place in your department If you hve not yet employed anyone I should like my application for the position to be considered
And you conclude with
As to my character and fitness for the job please rest assured that I am sure smart In this last sentence job may be rather too informal employment or post would be more suitable Smart is a colloquialism that means 搈entally alert quickf
witted and talented Moreover the sentence
I am sure smart is very informal and colloquial and so it is inappropriate for the letter
4 Good use of English requires the appropriate choice of words for the expression of thoughts To be in good use of English therefore a word must be used appropriately in a specific set of circumstances

6 Some examples of euphemisms
1 a mental home ＝ an insane asylum slow ＝ dull in mind residence ＝ house
a reconditioned automobile ＝ a used car stout ＝fat
The above words and phrases in italics are supposed to be more pleasant substitutes for those in parentheses
2 skin tonic ＝cold cream The term skin tonic may help the manufacturer to sell his products more easily

4 Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry this is called transfer of population This is quoted from George Orwells Politics and the English Language Euphemism is used here to hide some brutal harsh stark political realities
7 The writer means that in spite of the fact that he strongly objects to the use of euphemisms some euphemisms having considerable vigour and vitality can still be used as far as he is concerned
8 It shows that the writer can foresee the inevitable fate of any euphemism ie that any effort to avoid unpleasantness will end in failure because a euphemism will quickly acquire the same negative connotation
