The faculty of Wellesley College has promulgated a list of phrases and expressions to be avoided by the girl collegians, and it might be studied with profit by many girls outside of college: "I guess so," for "I suppose or I think so." "Fix things," for "arrange things" or "prepare things." The use of "ride" and "drive" interchangeably. "Real good" or "real nice," for "very good" or "really nice." "I have studied some," for "studied somewhat," or "I have not studied any," for "not studied at all." "Try an experiment," for "make an experiment." "Had rather," for "would rather," and "had better," for "would better." "Right away," for "immediately," or "now." "Well posted," for "well informed." "Try and do," for "try to do." "It looks good enough," for "it looks well enough." "Somebody else's," for "somebody's else."—Selected.
