Academic writing uses vocabulary accurately. Most
subjectshavewords with narrow, specific meanings. Words

words used is important becausewords that have almost the
same denotation (dictionary meaning) canhave very
different connotations (implied meanings). Likewise,
grammarrules are also followed to avoid confusion among
