Conciseness

Post by Ed »

As a reminder, I would like everyone to refresh their memories about conciseness. In addition to eliminating vagueness, this is one of the number one ways you can improve your writing:

Clearly, my spectacles are in need of some concise-ness! When I read the title, I swore I read "Conscienceness".
:D Off to clarify my clarity issues, and read the guidelines! Thanks for the reminder, Ed!
