Negative Positive
Title: Nix
Review: If pretentious writing, substituting Latinate polysyllables for ordinary language, is desired for a reference, this one does about as well as any. The practice of using French in English prose as "intellectually smart" is boorish, but this reference will advance that end. The difference between "sophisticated" and "archaic, obtuse, and foreign" is a difference some of us consider worth keeping.
