Word Choice Standard 5B
WORD CHOICE Every time someone speaks or writes, he or she has to choose words carefully. Unfortunately, words have many different meanings sometimes. It's up to us as critical readers and listeners to pay attention to context and purpose to make sure we get the right message.
