Welcome to LousyWriter.com, a free online resource to improve your writing skills and help you write better.
It is easy to learn how to write correctly. We need only 2,000 different words as part of our vocabulary. Knowing simple words, where to place them, and how to use them correctly, makes us good writers.
LousyWriter.com obeys the rules of plain English writing. We favor smaller and familiar words instead of big or foreign words. Great scholars and writers and exceptional speakers use simple words. Today's dictionaries are bloated with over 500,000 words, but good writers need to harness only a small fraction of this number.
LousyWriter.com wants you to become a good writer. Good writing makes you sound intelligent and makes you look professional. These two benefits alone have a positive effect in your business career and personal life.
Use LousyWriter.com to learn how to write, how to use words, how to write sentences, and how
to communicate effectively.
