Putting an adverb between ' to ' and the infinitive. " 15. Use of double negative. " 16. Omission of a word necessary for clearness. "A trope is the turning of a word from its literal meaning. Metonymy, Synecdoche, Simile, Meta- phor, and Personification are all tropes. For example, ' Saladin was a fox in council ' ; 'As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean' ; ' The Turk governs with a loose rein.' " Euphemism is fine writing; that is, the use of gaudy, flowery phrases and words to hide ...either plain facts or unpleasant realities. For example, ' cas- ket ' for ' coffin,' ' an ovation ' for ' applause.' In some cases it is allowable, especially when it is used to avoid unpleasant suggestion." "III.
