Achte auf die hervorgehobenen Teile. Was haben sie gemeinsam?
Культура мовы is the discipline of using the language accurately, appropriately and clearly - not of using it ornately. Its three criteria are correctness against the norm, appropriateness to the situation, and economy. A text can be fully correct and still fail the other two.
