(8 words 100% comprehension; 15 words 90%: active voice verbs. Avoid using words ending in -ize and ization: use only job- related jargon. 2: use fewer words, strategies for concise writing, eliminate long lead-ins, start directly. All forms of to be (am, are, is, was, were, will) generally are weak: revise prepositional phrases, some phrases (beginning with in, to, at, of, after, with, between) can makes sentences sound awkward and overwritten. Can be replaced by a one word modifier: needless creates wordiness, avoid there is, there, are, and it sentence openers, begin with the subject, followed closely by verb and object, shorten multiple that/which /who clauses. Drop relative pronoun as well as the verb that immediately follows it: make negatives positive.
