NomographyOver-bulkiness

Imperfections in style or say in language are
the qualities correspondent and opposite to the qualities
desirable as above enumerated.

Correspondent and opposite to clearness are 1.
obscurity: 2. ambiguity.

Correspondent and opposite to correctness is misexpressiveness.
Misexpressiveness in style and language requires to
be distinguished from error in thought: viz. in
relative ignorance and erroneous judgment – non-cognization
and misjudication.

Misexpression has place in so far as the language
employed by the speaker or writer or is liable to fails of communicating
to the conveying to the minds of hearers or readers the thoughts
which it is his desire to convey to them.

Misexpressiveness may have place in any one
of three ways shapes – by giving in so far as the
import. Relation had to the thought intended to be conveyed
the thought actually conveyed to the mind of the person
in question may be either 1. exactly coincident and commensurate, 2. too narrow, 3. too broad, or
4. altogether different. In the first case, the locution it is what it is intended
to be, in either each of the three other cases it is
different from what it is intended to be.

Correspondent to these modes of misexpressiveness
are the several modes of which amendment is susceptible,
namely 1. simple addition, 2. simple defalcation or say
substraction: 3. substitution which is compounded of both
as in locution is eliminated out of the mass, and
into the validity thus affected, another is locution is
inserted.
