"Young writers often suppose that style is a garnish for the meat of
prose, a sauce by which a dull dish is made palatable. Style has no
such separate entity; it is nondetachable, unfilterable. The
beginner
should approach style warily, realizing that it is himself he is
approaching, no other; and he should begin by turning resolutely
away
from all devices that are popularly believed to indicate style--all
mannerisms, tricks, adornments. The approach to style is by way of
plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity."

--Strunk and White, "The Elements of Style"

''And thus an American textbook, typical required reading for
10th-grade English students, unknowingly extols some virtues of
WabiSabi''

This is the fundamental mantra that users and writers should keep in
mind. Whether it's [writing a book |
http://oreilly.com/oreilly/author/index.html], a [prose |
http://www.yale.edu/bass/gencon.html], or even a [thesis |
http://www.bestdissertation.com/] or [dissertation |
http://www.bestdissertation.com/services/dissertation.html] paper -
the simple style of writing stays as a universal principle. Keep in
mind that it is not a matter of being able to write the most
hifalutin words, it's being able to communicate your ideas in a
manner that is easily understandable by the readers. When writers can
achieve this goal, they are able to write effectively.
