Abstract
The underlying message of this chapter is:
-
Don’t think that using complex terms will make you sound more intelligent.
-
Write using the simplest most direct terminology.
-
Cut everything that is not essential – this will let your key ideas stand out (be seen) more easily.
The chapter begins by giving you good reasons to avoid redundancy, and then shows you how to be concise.
