\"\"Kurt Andersen had his list of \u201cWords We Don\u2019t Say<\/a>.\u201d As the editor of<\/em> The Paris Review, what are some of yours? \u2014Tom Michaels<\/em><\/p>\n

Usage snobbery is a poor man\u2019s snobbery. It has no place at The Paris Review<\/em>. When Kurt Andersen compiled his list of peeves, he had the excuse of working at New York\u2014<\/em>a magazine that pretty much exists<\/em> to market snootiness on a budget. You will notice that most of his verbotens come from the tabloids, the trades, or lifestyle magazines. (There is something, not just ironic, but deep<\/em> about a lifestyle magazine banning the word lifestyle<\/em>.) Which is to say, Andersen was doing his job. He was maintaining a tone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here at the Review<\/em> we have no such excuse. All we\u2019ve got are hang-ups. I blame mine on The Worth of Words<\/em>, a late-Victorian usage manual that I picked up at a yard sale during high school and subsequently destroyed. It was too late. The Worth of Words<\/em> had singed it onto my brain that the phrase due to<\/em> should be used only in instances of someone actually incurring a debt of gratitude, that aggravate<\/em> must never be used except in the sense of adding to, and that partially<\/em> means only \u201cwith bias.\u201d (Google Books has now reunited me with this manual<\/a> and its insane author, Ralcy Halsted Bell. Entry one: \u201cABORTIVE means of untimely birth … To speak of an abortive attempt or act is hardly short of the ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n

I do not recommend The Worth of Words<\/em>, and I offer this tiny (partial) list of my own in a spirit of confession and contrition. Recently our managing editor, Nicole Rudick, cured me of an aversion to forthcoming<\/em> (in the sense of \u201csoon to be published\u201d) with the help of the OED<\/em>. Here, off the top of my head, are some more:<\/p>\n

Home (for house)
\n Hopefully (for \u201cI hope\u201d)
\n Disinterest (for \u201clack of interest\u201d\u2014yes, even though I know it\u2019s totally correct)
\n Delicious, Spicy, Tangy (used metaphorically)
\n Tasty (ever, but especially in reference to a \u201click\u201d)
\n Pleasantry (except in the sense of \u201cjoke\u201d)
\n Following (to introduce a list: as in \u201cthe following\u201d)
\n Contact (as a verb)
\n Relationship (ever, ever, even when it\u2019s the mot juste<\/em>)
\n Impact (unless we\u2019re talking about, e.g., a car crash)<\/p>\n

I could go on. (Couldn\u2019t you?)<\/p>\n


Mr. Stein,<\/br><\/p>\n

In his new book,<\/em> The Tao of Travel<\/a>, Paul Theroux suggests ten essential rules for budding globe-trotters. Rule number eight is \u201cRead a novel that has no relation to the place you\u2019re in.\u201d\u00a0This seems counterintuitive, so I would like a second opinion, lest my summer holiday be ruined by inadequate reading material.\u00a0I am making my first trip to the United States in a few weeks (to Los Angeles and San Francisco). Should I be foolish enough to think that reading Bukowski in L.A. will enhance my experience there? Or should I do a complete one-eighty, as Theroux suggests?
\n Thanks
\n Darren Colquhoun
\n Bristol, England<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m with Theroux. To read about a city is always to read about a place that no longer exists. If you go searching for Bukowski\u2019s downtown, you\u2019ll only be disappointed\u2014or will make yourself feel and see things that aren\u2019t there. And so much is<\/em> there. Rent a convertible in Los Angeles, walk all over San Francisco, keep your eyes peeled, and save Bukowski for when you get back to Bristol: let the influence go the other way.<\/p>\n
