As our the planet earth rotate at its axis every 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, so as the trends in our life are changing. This also goes the same as to out languages. To what we spoke and to what we wrote. English language has been developing for several years now and we use the standard way of using it to both speaking and written conversations and any other topics.

Therefore, a lot of things that are use to help us produce a good quality article in writing are widely available. This enable us to write down what our minds portray and what our ideas about a certain topic would lead to. But then, we should always stick to the facts. Also, writers should always have it in mind that they are writing to influence the minds of the public therefore; they are trying to gain the interest of their readers. So a well written piece should always be present. If some basic rules on how to write effectively and manageable are being discarded, they might lose a lot of readers making their piece not worth reading. On the other side, maybe your boss or your teacher will not appreciate your work since it is made out of low quality content writing.

Here are some great ways that can affect our way of writing good quality article even if you are only a beginner of this writing field.

Some foreign expressions have evolved into a common part of English writing, even finding their way into the English dictionary and the databases of many English grammar software. Used largely for their unique way of expressing concepts, employing them can breathe an unusual amount of effectiveness into your copy better than their English equivalents could.

While there’s a good number of these phrases adapted into the English vernacular, these five represent some of the more common ones that you will likely find useful in your writing.

1. De facto

A latin word that means “actual” or “in practice,” you use it to denote an act, a behavior, a set of rules or similar concepts that are employed as the normal way of doing.

Examples: “de facto standard,” “de facto procedures”

2. Status Quo

A Latin term meaning “the current state of affairs,” it’s rare to come across a business, social science or economics book without this expression used at least once.

3. Vis a vis

A French term meaning “face to face,” it is employed in the English vernacular as a way of performing a comparison.

4. Per se

A Latin expression meaning “by itself,” it is used to highlight the specificity of an object.

Examples: “there is no guaranteed deal, per se”

5. Ad hoc

A Latin term that denotes something created or performed “for one specific purpose,” this is one of the most widely used foreign terms in the English language.
Examples: “ad hoc committee,” “ad hoc report”
