The text states that euphemisms and weaselers have uses but only if we are speaking, writing, listening, and reading carefully could we even distinguish prejudicial uses of these devices. It further states that photographs and other images are not claims or valid arguments but can be used to affect the reader’s decision making. They are invalid because a photograph may not state the exact truth and can be used to mislead the viewer. 3. What are some methods you might use to determine the reliability of the data you gather?
If you were using the cognitive approach you would only get qualitative data which could be a problem as not everyone interprets the same answer in the same way. This would be more objective. This would also mean it is not valid as you are measuring why you think
He uses the persuasive aim and comparative mode to suggest grammar is not as important as some people believe it to be and shows the different opinions of others along with challenging the fact that his works should not be held to a standard such as other great works of literature like “Dante’s Inferno.” The persuasive aim is used by Kelso to suggest that grammar is not as important as some people think it is by stating, “I am of the opinion that good grammar is at least the equal of bad grammar, in that both are irrelevant” He is persuading us to believe that good and bad cancel each other out and it is better to just be in the middle where it is irrelevant. He implies the readers take this too serious by “the pile of writings I have received” and a couple of rude notes Page 2 sent to him. He can’t understand why they are being so critical of him by asking, “What do you people expect for the price of a newspaper, for gosh sakes? Dante’s Inferno?” He is suggesting that his work should not be criticized to the extent that it has because of the small price the readers pay for it and that the readers are expecting his column to be like other great works of literature such as Dante’s Inferno. Kelso makes a persuasive claim that “some of the most outstanding grammarians ever…were mad as March hares.” He is implying that he is a sane person

Why, because we would rather use figurative language to explain something INSTEAD of using the literal language to explain themselves. Many times, even English speaking folks find it just as confusing to comprehend figures of speech – not to mention the new comers and foreigners of the English language. Below are a few types of figurative language that I will try to define and give examples to help give understanding of the idiom, analogy, metaphor, simile, cliché, amphiboly, flame word, hyperbole, euphemism, and colloquialism. Idiom is a word or phrase that mean something different from what it is actually (literally) saying. “Mind your P's and Q's'” is an idiom that literally means be on your best behavior.
The use of figurative languages could be considered a double edged sword when it comes to engaging in productive thinking. While the use of them may seem pertinent at the time, sometimes the meanings of the words are lost on those that are conducting a brainstorming session with you, and force the group to think harder as a whole to try and understand the reasoning behind the use of the word. Below are definitions and examples of figurative languages that could be misconstrued or misunderstood when engaging in productive thinking exercises.

Some people just hide their emotion and seldom express themselves by a verbal communication. Therefore, the “Squiggling game” is a good form of communication to allow us to know someone without judgment more. 250 words Additional material: Gordon Allport Prejudice jeopardizes to learn special characteristics about someone. As a result, we should find different ways to reduce prejudice.
(Mufflin, 2009) Idioms are used to express something that other words do not express as clearly or as cleverly. People often use an image or symbol to describe something as clearly as possible and thus make the point as effective as possible. For example, "in a nutshell" suggests the idea of having all the information contained within very few words. Idioms tend to be informal and are best used in spoken rather than written English. An Analogy is defined as a similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar (muffin, 2009).
