Word to the Wise: Disquisition

By ETR

A "disquisition" (dis-kwuh-ZISH-un) – from the Latin for "investigate" – is a formal discourse in which a subject is examined and discussed.

Example (as used by David Gibson in a New York Times review of What the Gospels Meant by Garry Wills): "Garry Wills is not only one of the country’s most distinguished intellectuals, but also one of its most provocative… . Add to this his regular disquisitions on the church… and you have a combustible mix that can delight, infuriate, or illuminate, usually all three."

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]

Dear ETR: Keep those helpful business hints coming.

Here I am, taking you up on the offer to "cast my vote" for ETR. I love reading ETR’s daily newsletter. I own a small building contracting firm here in Central Virginia, and it’s always refreshing to keep up with the articles you guys put out.

“I enjoy reading the thoughts of Michael, MaryEllen, and Robert. But most especially I look forward to the notes Suzanne Richardson writes as ETR’s Managing Editor. They are sharp, down-to-earth, and business-helpful.

"Keep those helpful business hints coming. Some of us are very appreciative of what you’re doing"
