A lot of the time our word use, as writers, is instinctive. Connotation is something I notice more often when I'm editing non-writer's writing. I think because we work with words and language so much we have a natural tendency and instinct for the 'right' word. Sometimes I've had a word and known it's NOT the 'right' word. That's when thesaurus.com comes to the rescue as I search for the word that has the exact connotation that I want. Another aspect of connotation and choosing words carefully is when writing technical information. For example, when I write about web design here at Writer's Round-About, I know many of my readers are unfamiliar with the 'jargon' that becomes second nature in the web tech world. It is important to choose words that will be understood and hold the right connotation for these readers. Thanks Heiddi! A lot of the time our word use, as writers, is instinctive.
