WHAT THIS EBOOK COVERSThe articles in this ebook cover idioms as well as a bit about dictionand a bit about rhetorical construction. Idioms are about unique com-

binations of words, which words always “belong together”. Dictionconcerns the meaning of individual words, and whether this single

word is used properly in a sentence. Rhetorical construction concernsthe overall flow of a sentence, how a sentence is put together for the

most clarity and power, but no ambiguity. Discussion of idioms neces-sarily reaches into these other two areas, so topics in diction and

rhetorical construction will appear throughout the ebook.
