What does 'precision of language' mean?
It means using the right word or phrase to convey exactly the right idea. Words that share the same definition may have widely different connotations (shades of meaning).One example would be the words 'scent' and 'odor'. As nouns, they both mean 'the smell of something'; but a scent is generally considered a pleasant smell, while an odor is very much less so. You wouldn't want to say, "My girlfriend's perfume has a nice odor" (or even worse, "She has such a lovely reek") -- unless, of course, you wanted out of the relationship.
