Good article.

…g “swell” in writing. But only in dialogue; not as an adjective to replace the word you should use. Try and write straight English; never using slang except in Dialogue and then only when unavoidable. Because all slang goes sour in a short time. I only use swear words, for example, that have lasted at least a thousand years for fear of getting stuff that will be simply timely and then go sour.

Good article. I like this advice BUT I write about what I know and I know that the people i grew up with, including my family, and poor people in the projects don't say "swell'. Keep writing.
